Garage
Sand/Media Blaster Options

Ok gladiators of the garage space, what is a good home-brew media blasting setup?
I have scraped together enough bicycle frames and parts, and car parts that I'd have to pay more for a professional to do it than I could buy a kit myself.

Problems:
1) I have an air compressor, it's the small donut type and it serves all my construction needs very well. I use the shyte out of it for my various nail guns. DOWNSIDE, it can't even provide enough volume to run my air impact wrench.

2) I don't want a big tank compressor hogging up space in my garage or burning up my budget.

3) I want a media blaster that holds a lot of media for infrequent refills, but again, I want something that's small and inexpensive. I'm not starting a freaking powdercoating business here or anything.

4) I'm not made of money like you working folks.

*After perusing my Northern Tools catalog I beginning to think that what I envision doesn't exist....

Options?
