Uses a lot of air though, short bursts will be the order of the day while you wait for the compressor to catch up.
I saw one at Super Cheap Auto as well some time back. A small blasting cabinet can set you back $300

Bob,

Have a look at reply #17 in this thread. I bought one of these hobby sand blasters on ebay for $30 including shipping. Haven't used it yet, but looks promising and it is small and easy to store.

I have a high-end version of the 'Air Eraser' (Comco Microblaster) that I snagged a while back for cheap, but the Paasche and HF versions are pretty common. It works well for small parts, but can make a huge mess with fine powders that you don't want all over the shop, so either do it outside or make up a blasting cabinet, preferably with a vacuum hooked up to it. I see blast cabinets go fairly cheap on craigslist fairly often, and they're not that expensive new.
