I know i know, this probably doesn't belong here, but i know it'll catch the attention of the Canadian members

I'm finally getting around to getting a sandblaster and ofcourse i'm buying from a CANADIAN supplier!! they've got three of them on sale right now and i'm wondering about which one is better. I tried to find pics of them on the website but no luck. I'm planning on blasting lots of body panels, and many chassis parts etc., I'll be running off of a 60 gallon compressor with a decently high cfm ratings, so i think i'm set for that part.

1st one is a 5 gal. Vacuum Sandblaster, 18 -28 cfm and operating pressures between 65 to 125psi, that's going for $269.99 right now

2nd on is a 10 gal Pressure Sandblaster, 6-25cfm, pressures between 85 and 125psi and goes for 239.99

3rd is a 5 gal Pressure Sandblaster like the one above, just smaller, for 179.99

I also mightbe able to get one like the second one, slightly used for $150 so all opinions are welcome!!

Thanks For Your Help!!

I have a 5 galloner pressure pot. It works 100 times better then a gravity feed. Just plan on using it in a place where you can make lots of a mess. The 5 gallon will last for about 1/2 of blasting and when you are filling it up it will give you a chance to give your air compressor a break which is a good idea if its not a 2 stage. You will also have to get a hood coveralls, gloves and most importantly a good respirator(you don't want to be breathing silica sand its carcenogenic)
