Thanks Nathan,I will give Supercheap a go tomorrow, and look for a Blackridge kit. I have a near new, engine driven 3 cylinder Clisby compressor. I am counting on it keeping up with the short bursts I will be using it.
Mike C your helpful comment on the cabinet blaster has made me think about the bead blaster at work, that little thing has done years of glass bead blasting. I think if the Blackridge blaster doesn't do the job then I will get a bead blaster hand piece and modify it to a sand blaster.

The key to blasting is you must have a compressor that will keep up with the air consumption and maintain 100psi / 7bar. Obviously a large resevoir helps but even blasting small components will empty a large resevoir amazingly quickly. Once the pressure drops you are just making dust to no real benefit.
