Re: rally wheel sandblasting
I don't use sand, we use something similar to sand, but for a hobbiest like us, we don't want the harmful effects sand does on the human body. I think is called something like black magic or something. It's a black looking gritty agent like sand. Trevor

Re: rally wheel sandblasting
A lot depends on the size of your compressor. My compressor puts out 13 cfm at 150 psi and it is not large enough to sandblast wheel size parts in a timely manner. (It works on small parts). If you don't have a pressure at a sustained cfm then it takes forever to sand blast a part.

Re: rally wheel sandblasting
the bigger the compressor the better
i've been blasting with sand outside 45years zero health issues . common sence goes a long way in protecting yourself this is what i use outside for large stuff but smaller things like wheels i prefer the cabinet with a more aggressive media

Re: rally wheel sandblasting
What kind of health issues are we talking about with sand.

Re: rally wheel sandblasting
Silica from the sand can sit in the lungs and cause lung cancer. Proof is in all the coalminers and such. Trevor

Re: rally wheel sandblasting
If shooting sand, pay the money and get a very good respirator, I hate to see one of the fellow members get messed up with the stuff. Just looking out for fellow members. Trevor

Re: rally wheel sandblasting
Silicosis. That is why you should always wear a respirator and use common sense as stated above.
