My mates got the one form Machine mart and its ok, but to be honest i was expecting it to be a bit more agressive.

took me about 20 mins to blast an alloy back to then metal.

it kept blocking too, even with the water trap.

if i were to get one, id probably try the frost one as they seem to have a good reputation for not selling sht.

i use the machine mart stuff, but wont any more as my mate now works for a blasting company..... i can get stuff blasted by him, or just get him to get me nice new grit... no prizes for guessing which option i use most!

And on the 7th day........... God created turbochargers!
