A bit of discussion concerning the purchase and operational characteristics of this mid size 'pressure pot' sand blaster. It is a very good sandblaster and is only limited by the quantity and pressure of the air supplied and the size of the selected ceramic nozzle. This particular style has to be connected to a remote compressor. The 250 pound capacity of the reservoir is plenty to do a fair sized project without stopping to refill.
The only time I use either Silica sand or Meramec sand without the Clemco air supplied helmet is for simple and small projects. But even for these small projects I use extremely efficient facemasks rated for asbestos dust for breathing protection.
The four small diameter cast iron wheels being sandblasted today are for a future project. After this portion was completed, they got their Rustoleum primer coat of spray.
Enjoy the pursuit of the day...no matter that it seems trivial. (-: - Zábava
You have better equipment than I do for sandblasting but the important thing is as long as it works.....CHEERS
Heck yeah, don't matter as long as they get the job done !! LOL I'm always in the market for a bargain though....if I was to find a LeRoi or Schramm self contained motor/compressor/sandblaster at the right price, I am afraid it would come home with me. LOL
good video Wendell good job on the wheels they look like new thanks for sharing take care
They sure took the primer and paint well. Rusoleum has some good products, but I still like to start with pure clear metal whether its steel or cast. Thanks Tom for the visit my friend.
Thanks for the video Tractorman.
You are welcome Glen. Thanks for letting me know you stopped in. Have a great day !!
Good evening Sir, sand blasting is a great way to removed rust, paints etc,,, and yes it is imperative to have a the right protective face mask Cheers !!!
I knew you'd like the asbestos rated mask !! I do too !! I prefer the air cooled Clemco hood, but these little projects its a real aggravation to set up.
@@tractorman4461 Yes Blasted sand id well know to cause bad things !!! Cheers
Thanks for sharing! Looks good!
Thanks Jeff...its not a bad pressure pot at all.
That is a nice unit for my type of projects, thanks for sharing Wendell, to see up-close how old paint and rust disappear is very rewarding, waiting to see where the wheels will fit, thanks for sharing and willing to take the risk for your camera to get contaminated
I guarantee you will be surprised at the project for the wheels !! LOL Those wheels are from an old local furniture factory that closed down 70 years ago or more.
Enjoyed the video my friend. All my very best to you and yous.
Thanks for the well wishes Bobby, the same to you and thanks for stopping in today !!
That’s a pretty impressive unit Wendell. My sandblaster is the siphon type. Worked great when it was new. Very problematic now
Those work adequately, but they rely on the negative pressure created in the sand pick up tube to work. I borrowed a siphon tube years ago and decided then to build the big boy built of salvage materials. Thanks Gary for your input.
👍👍
Thanks Tony, this portion of the project was kinda trivial, but it was necessary for a good product at the end.
Hey this was another fun video, Wendell. I don't find these little projects trivial at all buddy. It's all part of the big picture out there at TractormanLand.
Thank you David for always the nice comment. Say...we heard you bailed on the Monday night chat with Ed for family dinner.....!!?? We missed ya, but dang it good for you !! We do the same weekly on Thursday evenings. I'm just guessing here, but I think you'll like the project those wheels go to......
You're welcome, my friend! And yes, I can't wait to see what's next! 😀
Blasting off into another exciting 44 Adventure over me lunch! Can it work out any better than this? It’s like a small 10” planer I have and a die cast gear gave up. I found out the part was like $40 so I had a pattern and made a gear from a scrap piece of 1/4” steel. It’s still working fine after 10 years. I use it to run used wood through. My 131/2” Dewalt is only for good stuff. A guy gave me a few mud flaps from a big rig that was a good 3/8-1/2” thick and I used those things for many projects, including a few gaskets. Even fixed some work boots way back. Well this vid is very worthy of some tippin, which I’ll prepare in a few minuets. Thanks Kindly 44 Friend and my Best to the Missus most certainly! DaveyJO about to do more tippin your way!
Heck yeah DaveyJO...I save all kinds of scrap to make or fix stuff out of !! Some like to announce how expensive this or that was but me and you like to see how cheap but functional we can go. LOL I like the home made gear !! Uncle Charlie was a clock collector. He had some so old they had WOODEN gears !! On one that was ridiculously old, he whittled out a gear to make it work too !! Steel was a little harder than wood though... He's another WW2 vet and a couple years ago after his 95th birthday, he was the local city's Veteran's Day Grand Marshall for the parade !! He was in hog heaven for sure. Actually they called him that, but he sat on a float and waved at everybody. I went to visit Stan today and took him another sack of McD's best for him and his pooch, Bruiser. Happy as a clam he is ! Take care ol buddy....sippin and tippin this evening in honor of MissAlice and your happy self !!
@@tractorman4461 Tippin right back at ya! And what a great way to honor that elderly vet! He deserves the best! I’ll send you a email pic of Uncle Bud. Quarryville started a banner display for those soldiers from the wars that are attached to poles along the street. They are weather proof and up for two years. They cost $175 and my sister and I had one for Bud. After the two years it is given to family and I’ll be sure to send it to my daughter Jenny, as she wrote the book and spent many many hours doing so. All my best and Fine JO! DaveyJO
@@daveyjoweaver6282 That is soooo cool. Jenny deserves to receive it for sure. It was a very well written book and it honored him in style ! I thank you for sending it to me what...two years ago maybe. Really a honorable man who gave it all DaveJO.
funciona bien wendell
Barato también en la acución. Son bastante caros para comprar nuevos. Cuestan $1500.00 (1380 euros) hoy. Le di $30.00 por él.
I have a broken microwave in my shed with the cord cut off too.
Hahahaha...crack me up. Yes, guilty !! Its a good spot to sit my camera bag and coffee cup while I'm working. LOL
What psi air and cfm compressor are you using? Seems to supply the air needed to do the job. Thanks for the video.
IIRC, that day I was hooked to a 14cfm Husky two stage compressor set at 125 psi. It cycles at 175 psi. Here's a poor video on a home made compressor/sandblaster I built many years ago:czcams.com/video/VXuEXSUPPTU/video.html The Kubota on it that day was way too small. I usually run it with an Oliver Super 88 or a Massey Harris 44.
@@tractorman4461 Thank you for the information. You are a true renaissance man.
What a Mess!!! You'd be cleaning sand from every crack, joint, sticky surface and piece of clothing for months.
Actually it depends on how you prepare and what accessories you use. I use a Clemco full helmet/poncho that fully covers a person well below the waist. The helmet is provided a clean air supply that acts as a venturi cooling system. And in addition to this, the helmet is fitted with stackable face shield coverings that tear off when they become too speckled to see adequately just like the ones motorcross and off road racers use. No muss, no fuss and a GREAT way to prepare surfaces for primer and paint.
If you'd like to see the big one I built many years ago, check this vid out: czcams.com/video/VXuEXSUPPTU/video.html. The Missus and my youngest daughter love to sandblast and what they are doing in this video is preparing one of the most difficult types of metal to blast.
