[QUOTE="goldeneagle, post: 6514899, member: 18962"] Really depends on what size compressor you have to run it. Bigger pots mean less filling and longer blasting runs. I have the large hodge clemco pot (2040 model no I think) but have different size nozzles depending on whether using own compressor which is 160 cfm or hired in 400 cfm compressor. The difference in work rate between an 8mm (150 cfm) and 12 mm (390 cfm) nozzle is night and day but a 400 cfm compressor is 10k to buy or 300 a week to hire. The cost of accessories such as helmet and breathing air filter is quite pricey to start but necessary evil as it is a messy job. It is a handy tool but after 8 hours blasting you will realise there are muscles in your neck and shoulder never used. If doing I beams there are places that have a machine where the beam goes in one end and comes out blasted and painted the other. [/QUOTE]
