I often need to open the bottom material valve and run the air to clear the clumps…..an agitator or stirring mechanism in the unit would likely fix the issue. Also i added a piece of hose to protect the ceramic tip , other models have a metal protector shield. If it had both of these , this would be a superb product.
I finally got around to using it this weekend and I was very impressed. I was prepping pistons to apply ceramic coating (Cerakote) and did the work inside one of those plastic storage bins. I was expecting media blowing all over the place but it was extremely well contained by the brush and the vacuum running. Whatever fell into the plastic container I just used vacuum to put it back inside the unit and reuse it. Considering that I was using aluminum oxide media which is very expensive compared to coal slag (slag is $13 for 50 pounds and aluminum oxide is $90 for $50 in 120 grit) being able to almost eliminate loss it helps the wallet!
Bought this unit to upgrade my sandblasting cabinet. Over all a great unit once every thing is set correctly. It is important to have a decent volume of clean dry air for the unit to function properly.
Works great, reasonable price, fast shipping easy to assemble, well made products, I've bought quite a bit of stuff from vevor and everything has been totally satisfactory,
At first it was a bit tricky to feather the sand valve to the air flow but once I got it dialed in it is a pretty good portable small unit. The nozzle gun is fine at first but after some use it needs some repair
