Picked up this tool today :)

My life just got so much easier!!!!

Haven't had much time to use it as after I had built it, I had work and finished too late to use it. Pretty annoyed but I'm off tomorrow! All day blasting! Got plenty of rust to blast away!

I will post some results in the next couple of days.

Who else has got one? Any tips on the best medium would be good.

I'm on aluminium oxide at the moment and it does a good job with no pitting at all.

I will be taking on work for forum members if they are stuck. I will need to get some new media at some point. Heard good things about glass bead so think I will be adding that to my shopping list!

I got that compressor as the lager one from machine mart as I am a tight arse and didn't need a huge one. The only difference is that this one runs all the way through the operation, whereas the bigger one cuts off every now and then. Not a big deal really and never loses pressure. I never have to wait for it to build up the pressure so I'm happy with that compressor :)
