52Carl has, for once spoken the truth.
I HAD one of those pressure tank set ups from Tractor Supply, which is what most sale these days, and after I finished blasting my chassis i sold it for $100 to an unsuspecting guy. If it won't go in my bead blaster never again will I do it myself. The money to buy the tank/set up, then the sand, is a total waste of money.....but if you have a lot of blasting to do on small to medium parts, buy you a blasting cabinet and it will pay its way. I purchased a Skat Blast cabinet in 2001 and it still works great and I've blasted enough small stuff for folks to pay for it.............save your money, save your lungs, and save the stress.......just my two cents.
....example, just took the truck lid off my 50 coupe and had a fellow set up professionally to do it, and for 50 bucks left it one morning and picked it up that afternoon. Best money I ever spent.
