Blast gun recommendations

Does it "pulse"?

Does it work for a few seconds and then get worse?

Stupid simple thought, but have you checked the line/fitting on the cabinet?

I've had to clear some rock hard crap from three steel fittings in the last few months.

I'm curious as to the CFM you got as well.


...but I LIKE that full trigger.

It does pulse. It's always done that, although now, since I put the old gun back on with Erik's mod it does't pulse as badly.

The new gun came with a 5/16 tip. My old ceramic nozzles were 1/4. And I can tell, there's no doubt I have lost velocity.

About it making a cloud if I stop up the end. Yup. It does that. It blows back so hard that it blows media up into the cabinet.

Also, I am not using sand, but aluminum oxide. The cabinet had ever worked what I would call "good". I have an iron intake in it now and it's taken me about an hour to get 2/3 of it done. That's just stupid.
