I acquired a 375 cfm ingressol and rand diesel rotary screw compressor. It cranks and runs. It is a older unit. I am looking at getting a sand blasting set up going.
I will need to.find a pot and a hood and a deadman either air or electric.
any one have suggestions on a proper setup and what is safe to use. My compressor does not have a regulator as far as I can tell so I was wondering how you step the air down to safe levels such as 20 cfm for a hood and 50 psi or what ever pressure a pot will need.
The amount of air that comes out of the compressor is a heck of a lot and I have not figured out if it is always putting out so much and how it meters the air since I don't have anything that attaches to it.
is it possible to use damp sand?
I have a ton of it that's been exposed to the weather. maybe if i dry it out somehow.
i have been looking a pirate blasting equipment and also at stuff on ebay.
I need to clean some excavator bottom ends and some of them have a fair amount of rust and scale.
