Shot Blaster

[uksparks]

Hi,

I just thought I would show you a pic of a shot blaster I made about 10 years ago, I sold it this week with my air tools.

Poor the grit in the top, connect air line to inlet at top, regulate air and grit through remaining valves.

Yes it was really good, it would easily strip your skin to bone. I used to pressurize it to 12 bar.

what did you use that for?

Messing about with really, a bit of fun. You know how it is.

I used proper grit in it, not just sand.

We once blasted a Jaguar S type to the bare metal.
It found all the weak spots, but the finished job was amazing.

I could have a use for that.

I have a neighbour who seems to have an "issue" with me and I'm thinking his car could do with a respray ....... :devil:

Tut tut...now you have informed the free world of your intention...basic error ...

No no...find another neighbour,who associates with yours',get yourself some magazines,from a "swingers" or "dogging" forum...send them to the associates address,with "the occupier" on the parcel,but your problem neighbours name on the magazine covers...

The feed-back can take up to several years to return to your ears...but by then...the die is cast :conehead:

Paintwork can be repaired and shiny,in days...but knock the gloss off a reputation...:conehead:

I,of course,would never recommend this approach,preferring the direct method...or even presenting a neighbour with a freshly baked confectionery item,and offering a fresh-start...

Looks great and well made. Was it designed to be used as a portable unit?

I have one in our workshop and I hate the thing, it's a big enclosed unit in its own booth with a massive extractor and filters in there, very handy but the sand still gets everywhere. I know when the guys have been using it because the entire workshop including my office which is about 10 meters away gets a fine coating of sand everywhere. I've been meaning to relocate it outside but it's only used once every few months and I've never got around to it.
