  • I have the same tool. On page 8 of the instruction manual, under General Operating Instructions, it says "WARNING. Do not use sand for blasting." Further down, it states that compressor pressure should not exceed 90 psi. I had no problems, after reading the manual. That's what it's for.

    @johnasumaa8644@johnasumaa86442 жыл бұрын
    • Not sure which manual you're looking at, but that's not what it says. The warning is specifically regarding using sand with silica, and it's NOT that the unit can't use sand, the warning is specifically about breathing silicosis and aluminum oxide.

  • Holy Cow! Some hobbies should not be tried without researching the danger or hazards! When I saw you hold the metal with a bare hand and I was already concerned when you stated going to home depot for a bag of sand... If you accidentally pass that over your bare hand it can take off flesh. Sand is risky, even with a dust filter, when you take it off the dangerous dust is lingering in the air. Yes some sands are safer than others but why mess around, get some blast media.

  • Thanks for this mod video and sizing on bits/holes. I know this is 2 1/2 years old, but for folks that are coming here later, it does indeed say not to use sand. However, I found a decent work around to get consistent media size from Home Depot sandbox sand. I first put the sand out on a tarp to dry in the sun - Then use a mesh strainer you can get from Walmart/Target and filter into a milk jug/soda bottle through a funnel. It takes out the largest pebbles and gives a generally consistent media without clogging.

  • It does work out of the box if you use the proper media. Home Depot sand is made for a child's sandbox. It does not have a consistent grit size. I've used glass bead & aluminum oxide with great success. Moisture will clump the media and clog the gun, you need a water separator right at the gun.

I drilled a piece once like you did. Held the piece to be drilled in one hand while drilling with the other. The bit snapped and I drilled right through my thumb with the broken bit that was left in the drill. What a bloody mess . I NEVER buy drill bits from Harbor Freight anymore.

Cut a stencil on my Cricut, stuck it on a glass I wanted to test on and it was fantastic. I live in SW Florida so humidity is a way of life here. Installed a desiccant moisture absorber in line and went to town. I am throughly empresses with thing. It does a great job.

  • The most important factor in any media blasting is having the proper media. Home Depot sand is not made for sandblasting. It has tiny rocks, pebbles, and debris in the bag. You need either sand made for sandblasting, or you can filter your own sand through a screen to remove the larger particles that are clogging the valve and the tip on the gun.
