Hello everyone -
To start with, thanks for the feedback. After reading all of the posts, I see there are a lot of varying opinions.
I can not afford to buy all "new" parts, and I don't want to use my limited funds on a professional, so I guess I am going to do it and just keep the blaster moving. (I have heard and read a lot of stories about professional sandblasting companies destroying parts. Scary!)
Thanks again! I will post how it goes.
Ross
