    Setting up a sand blaster on a 60 Gal Compressor

    I used one of the inexpensive harbor freight sand blasters and bought a northern tool sandblast gun for it. The original HF gun clogs often. A few simple brass connectors, plastic washing machine hose and clips and it worked great. About $100 into the entire system and I used sand as the media.

    Critique my compressor / blaster choice before I waste my $$$

    Have you looked at adding a frazanator to an ingersol 60 gallon? It works a bit like a 2 stage compressor to cool the air a bit before it hits the tank. Maybe an option.

    So, I am pondering selling my hd drill press and getting a used bridgeport to do basic milling and cutting and the uusual drilling holes in wood. Is this a wise move ? Who else has done it?

    Welding...What is the best "STARTER KIT"

    I went a different way, I bought a HH140 at first and realized I needed something extra for some 1/2" work. I got a ready welder and 2 batteries (costco) and a battery tender. Probably about $1000 in both systems. Only minor drawback on the ready welder is it is live so you hit it and go?

    Yes that is correct, used a 20% off at a big blue competitor. Took more convincing this time, but with a shot. Just say they accept them in metro Atlanta

    Portable Welder ..

    Got one from someone on one of the forums, 2 deep cycle batteries from Costco and a marine float charger deal on eBay. It welds very nicely and I can bring on trail as well. I think I am good for up to 1/2" with two batteries. I use my Hobart 135 for smaller stuff

    compound miter saw for metal?

    I did the same to a 10" craftsman saw. Use dewalt blades as the are better than norton. I am thinking of a variable speed switch controller from HF to keep the rpms down. I am impressed with the results so far.
