Another Washing Machine Sand Blaster FARM SHOP Tools 25-1-31 Last issue we showed you a sand blaster made from an old washing machine cabinet (Vol. 24, No. 6). Tim Hays, Decatur, Ill., also built a sand blaster using a washing machine cabinet, but he took a different approach.
The cabinet sets sideways on top of an angled hopper. Hays cut two round holes in the side for hand access and installed an slanted window at eye level for good viewing. The window has a replaceable plastic liner to keep it from becoming sand pitted.
Hays hinged the old front of the washing machine so the entire panel hinges out for easy access to the inside of the cabinet.
To clean a part, Hays reaches inside to hold a blasting gun. A conventional air compressor supplies air to the gun through a regulator on the side of the hopper. Hays generally runs it at 40 to 50 psi. Sand is picked up by vacuum and then blown out the gun, then falls back to the bottom of the hopper.
