Blast pot

[The Observer]

Looking to get set up with a big compressor (approx 260 cfm) and blast pot to do various projects, seems to be various complete pot packages available- any manufacturers to recommended or ones to avoid?

Anything to specifically look for when looking at pots? I've done a bit many years ago with someone else's set up but can't remember much about the specific details of the pot etc.

Hodge Clemco used to be the go-to manufacturer for all things shot blasty, there'll be a host of chineseum & far eastern specials available now

I have a Hodge clemco I think it is a 2448 from memory its big so dont need ot fill it up to often but hard to move arond especially when full, whot ever you get make shore it's a presser pot tipe and not a gravaty feed just be aware when I say presser pot it means it has comprest aor in it should be around 100psi so don't buye crap it mite go with a bang

Hodge clemco as all parts easily available. Their air fed helmets however are heavy after a day blasting, there was another brand that after purchasing thought would be better helmet Nova 3 if i remember right. The air filter needs about 25 cfm, so factor this in for compressor/nozzle sizing.
