Sandblasting cabinets vary in their function and application, so choosing the best one is often difficult. These tips can make the task easier, assuming you know the application and delivery system of abrasive material. The size of abrasive particles determines the method of feeding. Internal storage works great for mesh sizes of 150 and over. The actual application will determine whether you should use pressure or siphon system delivery, with the former being more expensive to purchase and operate. Both methods require a conveyor for delivery of fine abrasive.
Key Takeaways:
- Abrasive delivery means having a proper a trigger operated paint gun with control over when heavy abrasion is applied.
- When using a finer abrasive material such as 150 or 180 mesh and smaller you want to make sure the abrasive substance is filtered each time it exits the nozzle.
