- Complete review of the Barrel Blaster sand blasting unit made in the USA and better than most blasters on the market today! It works right out of the box, needing little to no upgrades unlike many of the cheaper units being offered for sale. I have blasted thousands of parts over the last three years with this unit.
This video shows you the ins and outs of the blaster, along with minor recommended upgrades, replacement parts, and the ease of assembly. After years of use, it still looks almost as good as the day it was delivered!

I'm about to pull the trigger on this, but the website says it uses approximately 12cfm at 80psi. Are they trying to tell me a $400-600 30 gal compressor won't be enough to efficiently run this barrel blaster because it's only 6 cfm? Surely I don't need to spend $2K on a compressor...
Hi Brent, it should run it just fine. You may have to wait a minute or two for the compressor to catch itself up. I have a 30 gallon as well. It performs better at 100 PSI but will still remove material even when it drops to 70 PSI. You can use your regulator as well to find the sweet spot. Also depends on the media you are using. If glass beads, you wanna keep it under 50 PSI anyway. Let me know if you have any other questions.
@@militarygunguy702 Thank you so much! I'll be using silicon carbide for glass. You mentioned waiting a minute or two for the compressor to catch up, which is fine. But what would the run time be before it does that? A minute or two?
@brentsealy9623 I usually let mine get to 125 PSI before I start blasting. My regulator is set to 100 though. Once it hits 75 I notice a drop off in pressure and pickup ability of the media. Silicon carbide is hard as fuck so you might be able to get away with a slightly lower pressure. On my end, for example, to blast a barreled receiver with 80 grit Alox, takes about 15 minutes. That's if it has blue, park or paint. If it has a specialty coating, it sometimes takes longer. For example I was blasting a part coated with alumahyde. Took a minute or so before I saw bare metal. The blasting setup at the shop is using 70 grit but our compressor is fucking huge. I can do an entire gun in maybe 5 to 7 minutes.
@@militarygunguy702 that's awesome. Thanks again!
@brentsealy9623 no problem. You need anything else just let me know. Good luck!
