I needed to sand blast a cast iron school bell covered in rust. For $30, I decided to try the Central Machinery Abrasive Blaster from Harbor Freight. I used fine grit coal slag from Tractor Supply at $9 per bag. The combination worked great! I had no problems with the sand blaster and will definitely use it again. Plus it stores well and easily.


I'm using an older 3hp Craftsman air compressor. It delivers 6cfm at 90psi with a 33 gallon tank. I feel like you could use a smaller compressor, but may have to wait on it occasionally. My compressor cycles about every 3 minutes when using the blaster continuously.
