Default air volume, and media containment

Hi David,

Great thinking and great work! Just wondering how many cfm your compressor puts out to run your rig?

Also I've heard of people connecting 1 or more compressors airlines together to get the required volume on a job.

I've seen blasting done in a sea container.

And I've heard of someone making a blast cabinet out of an old fridge that still had good magnetic door seals.

But dust extraction and lighting and your health are the next problems as David touched on.

Garnet is 'meant' to allegedly be non-toxic (how many decades will it take to really tell - like mobile phones) where as common as muck silica sand could give you a permanent dose of silicosis.

Stay Safe

Regards

Alex
