Nice! Making one from a 30gal. Plastic. I've been using a custom air gun with 2" PVC reservoir works great! Leas air used but I do mostly small stuff. Thanks for the Video. Thems are still some Cash at $350.... No doubt well worth once you start to use one.
Man I’m glad you put this video out there! I am was almost ready to spend the money at harbor freight and try and modify it not to leak. 🙄 I’ll be ordering this!
That's a great review, exactly what I've been looking for. Did you do anything special with the shop vac, or just hook it up with regular filer inside? Also, have you tried different medium types?
I just came across your video, what’s the dimensions of the door opening compared to a cheap harbor freight cabinet blaster, I’m really serious about getting one cause I restore cast iron furniture, and I’m wanting a sand blaster vs using soft wire wheel stripping. Thx for the video, I’m trying to compare prices cause with harbor freight cabinets, everybody is saying they need upgraded to work right, I want something I can unbox and immediately start using, do you still have yours, I’m just scared the opening in the end of the barrel might be to small, your thoughts please!
In order to operate The Barrel Blaster® continuously, you need a 5 horsepower or larger compressor. You can get by with a smaller compressor if you’re utilizing it for intermittent use.
I’ve since upgraded to a 7.5hp 25 CFM compressor. The one in the video is a 5CFM, I can hook you up with a nice compressor if you want. E-mail thebmwguy126@gmail.com
Hmmm... Think I will make one of these... Materials needed: ? Steel drum Angle iron Glass / Poly windows Nuts / bolts / washers / glue / welding skills Drill / drill bit Air compressor Rubber gloves Media gun w/ hose Blast media 'various' Optional: Legs for barrel Wheels * * * * Disregard! Not worth the PITA attempt to save a whole $50 on labor cost. 😁
