HF Blaster, Part Deux
After badmouthing the HF blaster, in the spirit of fairness, I gotta say that the thing really works great. Take a look at this nasty brake backing plate. I spent 60 seconds on each side and it is nearly perfect. Of course, I went through a lot of media. I'm using Black Beauty which sells for $16 per 100# bag.

You can reuse that Midia quite a bit. Just run a magnet through it to get out and metal. The rust particals are small and just make it spark a bit, but they are no harder than the midia itself.

I have a friend who has used that one for four years. He said the only problems he has had with it are clogged tips.

Jor,
Black Media for $16.00per 100lbs, heck I'm in.
That is if you don't mind sharing your source 
, I could sure use some, I have only found it for $17.00per 25lbs + shipping. Spread the news

re: HF Blaster, Part Deux
hmmmm
I'm really confused... how come NorthernTool is mainly in south??
It looks like there are only 2 states this side of the Mason - Dixon that have their stores.
wwwuuuzzzzuuuppp wit dat?
Does the stuff come by a differant name? Harbor FRIGHT carries some blasting media, but it is about $1.00 per pound. A 25 pound box is right at $25.00... sometimes it will go on sale for around $16-$18
take care,

re: HF Blaster, Part Deux
Hey Jeff..
Where did ya find the abrasive for 6.99/ 50lbs?
I just went to the NT web page and could only find Black Beauty 25lb for 14.99 plus shipping... and shipping to my zip is $20.13 making it $35.13.
Which is not feasible for me.

re: HF Blaster, Part Deux
Allan, Hey brother It was on page #3 about midway down in abrasives. It was $6.99 @ 50lbs "PLUS SHIPPING" which was around $29.33. So your total would be around $35-36.00..I AM TRULY SORRY IF I MISLEAD YOU, and others.........please accept my appoloiges.

re: HF Blaster, Part Deux
no problem FD...
LayedOut... posted a link that went right to it.
I just didn't see the page links before...
I am going to see if I can find a local supplier so I don't gotta pay that high shipping.
The cost for that 6.99 bag ends up being right at $40 with shipping, which is a little more than I can get the same amount of media on sale at Harbor Freight for.
I know a person who used to live here (they just moved a couple of months ago).
They said they used "black stuff" on the farm they worked at. They got the stuff delivered by the ton. So I figure there has to be a local supplier.
I am gonna call a couple of body shops and see if there have any resources.
I'll let ya know if I come up with anything that could save us both some cash.
Take care...
