Excellent job, James! I liked how you found self-made solutions to all the issues. ATB, sir!

Thank you kindly! Glad you enjoyed it sir

Cool 😎

Great video James! I’ve always gotten the best results with glass beads. If you want an even finish on your blade with absolutely no hand finishing, you can’t beat it! 80 grit is what I use.

I’ll have to give that a go! Do you generally leave that finish with stainless steel or carbon blades too?

+1 for glass beads as well, not as aggressive as Aluminum Oxide but a great finish - I would love to see some corrosion testing from you on different steels and media!!

You can all ways use a sand blaster for just about anything. Very good review.

Thank you!

I've had the best luck with coal slag. It is harder and longer lasting than glass and it is cheap! I've had a lot of clogging problems with AO, maybe it absorbs more moisture in the high humidity where I live.

Good to know! I have some humidity as well to contend with

Great video, I’ll be very interested in how the 3d prints hold up. From using industrial blasters slightly larger than this they can do a lot of damage very quickly. Would be interested to see a comparative video of various blast media’s for different tasks. (Paint removal, rust removal, best finish etc) Something I’ve had many a conversation about when blasting equipment in the past

Thanks for the comment! That would be interesting for sure!

I've found 80 grit glass bead to look good on copper and brass if a matte finish is what you're after. I have no way to test this, but I'd imagine you'd get a little work hardening on the surface of the metal.

Good point! A little surface penning may help. Cheers!

Broski, if you're really worried about air dryness (say for a plasma), look into intercoolers (between the compressor and tank), and get a triple filter/reg (solids, liquids, desiccant dryer), and then a motor guard. Esp down here in the Lone Star State, you need to curb the humidity as much as you can.

As for blasting media, depending on how specific you need to be ("per the print", ie shot peaning, glass beads, etc) get an industry standard media. Otherwise, black diamond has been a great go to "parts cleaner" media for my purposes. Although, sieved play sand (rejecting the large stuff), set out in the sun for a few days and turned over to dry, has worked well for me too.

Thank you for the great video. Just used all your affiliate links and I'm in the process of building it now. Almost done too. Got some questions though. I don't see links for certain items. Maybe I'm missing something though. At 2:46, you have 3 pieces in your hand. Do you have a link to the middle piece. The 90 degree piece. And at 3:38, do you have a link to that black piece on the water catch. Also, regarding that hole that you cut to big for the hose that feeds the blast media. What size should it have been. I assume just a half inch right. Just want to make sure I understand it correctly. I've never done anything like this so it's all new to me. Thank you for your help and thanks again for the video. Your time lapse video helped with the assembly too.

You know I just realized that hole that feeds the blast media to the gun needs to be an inch like you intended. Disregard that part lol

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed the build and got something out of this video. Sorry I missed that one! Could have bought it locally... don't remember. Here is a link to the 1/4 90 - amzn.to/3WunAr4 I'll put it in the video description as well for future builders. at 3:38 are you talking about the 90 degree 3/8'' to 1/4'' reducer 90? I couldn't find one on amazon, but you may be able to use a reducer like this one - amzn.to/3YrhMkv I'm not exactly sure on the appropriate hole size, but based on the CAD file I made to fit the grommet I'd guess it would be about 0.45 to 0.55 inches.... ~0.5 is probably the right measurement since the hose was really tight going though my grommet. Cheers and good luck!

@@RedBeardOps Wow. I didn't expect a reply so quickly lol. I ended up finding one and buying it. Sorry man. Would've loved to have gotten one through your affiliate link. Trust me, I know how valuable they can be. I should be good to go now. I'm doing the metering valve as well so all I need now is the valve from that website you recommended. Excited to get this thing going. Thank you again for the quick reply

@@shoguncustoms Man no need to apologize for that! Happy you got what you needed! Good luck with your build; sounds like you're on you way. The guy at the place that sells the metering valve is good at answering questions if you have flow issues.

Would the sand not erode the intake baffle if it's made from that plastic? Even if it's wear resistant?

Good question… guess I’ll find out! I bet over the years it will.

Dear Sir, I bought the regulator off amazon and one side says 'out', the other says 'in'. If I hook it up as you have, the 'out' goes to the compressor. Is this correct? Does it matter? Thank you...matt

The assembly can be rotated. And gauge moved if needed. The "IN" is your feed from the compressor and the "OUT" goes to your cabinet. The direction does matter.
