Re: Harbor Freight sand blaster?
Broke mine out the other day and remembered why I hated it from the last time I had used it. IMO really large parts farm them out. Parts that will fit in a cabinet go that route if possible. If neither is an option and you must, modify the unit like this and it will not clog as bad. Still need a large compressor, really dry air and screen your media. Found this modification online and it works a lot better now. Cost approx. $25 at the Home Depot.
A - 1/2" MIP x 3/8" MIP
B - 1/2" ball valve
C - 1/2" x close nipple
D - 1/2" MIP x 1/2" barbed fitting
E - 1/2" galvanized Tee
F - 1/2" galvanized 45*
G - 1/2" MIP x 3/8" MIP
H - 3/8" brass coupling
