I have been building bits and spurs for a living for nearly twenty years and its past time for the old dog to learn new tricks.I have a bead blaster I bought from Harbor Freight about eight years ago and never have used it much and was wondering if others have had the same problem.When being used even at the very start it purges thru the gun and never keeps an even flow or really cleans anything.I tried 80 grit glass beads,I have no moisture in my lines and my compressor is a 6.5 horse 6o gallon tank ,10.5 cfm @ 90 psi.Line length is not a problem because I can sit it next to the compressor and still have the same problems.
I have thought about ordering a new gun from TPI but not sure if it is the problem.I have heard others using basically the same compressor as I am and say they are having great results.They say they can clean the excess solder right off easily.I use stay brite solder.
Any suggestions or am I wasting my time with a bead blaster.Thank you!
