Tom,
I have a TIP pressure blaster, model 70-S, that is powered by a Campbell
Hausfeld 6 hp, 60 gallon, single stage air compressor and I use fine grit
slag product called Black Beauty on the frames and fine white sand on the
sheet metal and other pars and have had no problems. I use to use ceramic
nozzles but switched to a carbide nozzle over a year ago and have not had
to change it out since.
Just my 2 cents worth.
