    I stumbled across a vacuum blaster on marketplace last night, so today I took a 3 hour tour & shelled out $150 + $30 for fuel.
    Put some sand in it & gave it a test run on a piece of rusty steel I had laying around, it works great!
    Now I can media blast on the Comet without making a big mess.:)

    Looking at new prices I'd say it was well worth the time, nice score!

    Thanks, that’s exactly what I thought.(y) We have a Snap-On vac blaster at work but it doesn’t have the trash bucket or sifting screen.:huh:

    Yes, I have a 2’x3’ blast cabinet, 40# pressure pot blaster and now a vacuum blaster, I should be able to do everything short of blasting a complete car but I do have a guy for that too.
