Glastar Sandblasting System

Posted on July 9, 2011 by Eric Robert Posted in Blog Content 10 Comments

If you are unfamiliar with Glastar, it is another quality brand of sandblasting systems typically used for the etching and sandcarving industry. They provide everything from sandblasters, nozzles to dust collectors. Although I haven’t tested out this equipment, it appears to be of high quality.  This setup with the plotter costs about $7,500 new which can be expensive for a newbie. If you’d like to learn how to get set up inexpensively with decent equipment, I suggest you read my ebook.

Note: Originally this post was a classified ad that someone emailed me and asked if I would post it. I took his information down about the items for sale after I learned that it may have been stolen, so now this post is changed to reflect more of an informational post about Glastar and the set up that was used.

Here are the pictures he shared of their Glastar system which lists the sandblaster setup & plotter.

To the right of that you can see the dust collector which has a HEPA filter & 3 way filtering system. After that, the hose connects it to what is known as a abrasive separator or reclaimer which is simply a bucket with lid designed to capture the reusable abrasive before it hits the dust collector. This also prolongs the life of the dust collector & filter it has.

He also used a 24″ plotter to cut stencils by a company called Sign Warehouse. He used vector graphics from CD’s which consisted of wildlife, graphic arts, etc.

    I am interested in the sandblasting equipment. Is it still available? I don’t want the plotter. How much would the sandblasting equipment be. I would need it to be shipped to Virginia.

    THIS EQUIPMENT WAS STOLEN FROM MY PRINT SHOP AND THIS DUDE IS A FRAUD. FRIENDS OF THE PERSON WHO ACTUALLY STOLE THE PLOTTER AND SOFTWARE FROM MY SHOP. ALLEN PRINTING RANDY ALLEN IS THE LOSER WHO STOLE THE EQUIPMENT AND GAVE IT TO LARRY HIS LITTLE BUDDY WHO WORKED FOR THE CITY OF PHOENIX WHO I REPORTED THE THEFT TO AS WELL WHEN I SAW THIS AD.

    @ Mike, if this is a legitimate statement, I would appreciate it if you emailed me about this and don’t know why you wouldn’t.

    I do want to make sure this isn’t a fake and spam statement.

    Looking for equipment
    I have a plotter cutter, can build my own system if I have too. Would rather buy a unit if the price is right
