This pressure pot sandblaster system I have used and reviewed is the brand “Central Pneumatic” bought through Harbor Freight Tools.  The 40 lb pressure pot sandblaster was purchased for $80 from a Harbor Freight Tools store on sale with a regular price of around $100.

There are a few different types of nozzles that you can use to sandblast your glass.  If your using the siphon sandblaster, there all similar except some are on/off types and others have variable abrasive flow.  The variable abrasive flow siphon nozzles are usually preferred over the on/off trigger type because you can control the [...]]]></description>

If you do plan on sandblasting glass, you will obviously need an air compressor.  The selection of an air compressor can sometimes get confusion because of the ratings and type available.  The specifications to look at when buying an air compressor are the “CFM” rating, maximum air pressure output, air tank size, and the horsepower [...]]]></description>

A sandblaster cabinet is a boxed in space that allows the abrasive to be kept in the concealed area to be reused over and over.  This is very cost effective way to do sandblast glass because the area collects the abrasive sprayed out of the sandblaster and recycled. 
The sandblaster cabinet is also great because it is [...]]]></description>

It is a very wise idea to use a type of contained area to do the sandblasting for safety reasons, for dust control, and for the ability to recollect &#38; reuse this abrasive many times.  The use of a sandblasting cabinet allows the sandblaster to do all of this.  The cabinet has a viewing window [...]]]></description>

One additional tip that I think is great for you is that some of the most inexpensive pressure pot sandblaster’s are the ones made portable such as the Central Pneumatic pressure pot system, previously discussed.  These portable sandblasters have wheels (at least the majority do) and are not permanently configured to a cabinet.
