Glass Art and Etching News Updated information on glass art, the craft of etching, sandcarving, and the engraving industry with glass, metal, or anything.

The only bad thing that I have noticed about the Central Pneumatic sandblaster brand is its inability to keep a consistent flow almost like the characteristics of a siphon system.  This is probably due to having an imperfect design and the abrasive media being exposed to moisture from the supplied air causing the abrasive to clump up.  I usually have to tilt the pot sideways slightly to make sure all the abrasive gets funneled down while sandblasting.  I recommend trying to configure a better air/moisture filter to extract any moisture from mixing with the abrasive in the tank.

All together, the Central Pneumatic sandblaster is a great inexpensive alternate for a hobbyist to use or for people to get a taste of what the pressure pot’s advances can do without the high cost.  It will get the job done, while providing a high blasting power for multi-staging, but with some inconsistent flow characteristics.
