troyzstang Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Got a new toy this weekend I had a small tabletop model ,but with the current refresh to my Banshee I thought this would be a little more appropriate. The unit didn't come with casters so I had to fab a rolling base. Works great and what a time saver. Troy Oh by the way John , I found a nice place for your decal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06specialedition Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Right on I've been meaning to get one of those someday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burhead Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 do yourself a favor and pick up a tube of silicon and seal that bad boy up. I bought the cheaper model and it leaked really bad so I took it back and got that model. I siliconed it all up and it still leaks, just not as bad. They work very well for the price and I am really happy with mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this one was built on a friday because it seems almost 100% sealed ( so far) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not clog at all & cuts pretty good. . I have also used steel grit and that really cuts though anything but there is clogging. What type of media are you using? I ask because I want to try black beauty ( coal slag) as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue angel Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I have the same unit....just need to get myself an air compressor that will run it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 yea they need sealed OR welded up. i use this white sand i got at the same place that sells concrete sand stuff the local rental place or hardware store.. soda>> where did you get that> if its clogging there is moisture in t he lines also so you need to be carefull and also they can get moisture in the sand just from the air. also you can fab up a water/ dust collector with the vacume you should be using.. you sometime need to be carefull with what material you use. the more agressive sutff can really damage your parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUILDER Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I dont remember what I am running through it I will need to look tonight. Cam it is not moisture the suction hose is just filling up with sand becasue the sand I have it to course and it will not pull it. I have a water filter and a dryer on my compressor because I paint with it also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
