I would recommend getting an angle grinder and a knotted wire wheel instead. The wire wheel will make short work of your paint and major rust after which you should sand it with 80 grit to profile the metal prior to priming. Either way you go, use safety goggles, a good respirator and make sure others are not in the area.
What do you mean by warping? I just need to get all my pieces sandblasted so I can shoot 2 coats of epoxy primer on it... I won't wanna screw up the pieces and I didn't know that sandblasting it could mess it all up......
