[Farmall] sand blaster

[John Wilkens]

Minimum 5-6HP compressor with min. 50 gal. pressure tank and a good 
water filter--otherwise you probably won't be happy with the 
process.  Also figure on a good respirator to avoid silicon dust (bad 
on the lungs).  If you are not in a significantly dry climate you 
will probably have some trouble with the sand getting plugged in the 
sand tank (very annoying) and might want to invest in an air 
dryer.    Better yet, if you are cleaning just smaller parts, build a 
good size bead blast cabinet with the same compressor setup and use 
that.  MUCH handier and no problems with moisture and weather.   Good 
luck!    John W.
