At the same time, the industry produces sandblasters, designed to work at home, or rather in the garage.

In my view, the device developed by the author, it is able to replace the industrial production counterparts without losing the quality of treatment.

Design

Grade 5 of 5

As a basis sandblaster author took an old gas tank. From it had previously been cut off the handle, unscrewed the valve, and the cylinder was washed with water.

Thereafter, instead of the old valve is welded a threaded coupling, and the upper and lower part of the container is welded author threaded fitting.
