A good compressor that can keep up is essential as well.

Blasting a frame will be tedious with those small blasters and a home compressor. I you add up your man hours it's cheaper to go to work and pay someone to blast it with an industrial blaster. Especially if it's been powder coated. You'll have to paint strip it three times first. Wire cup brush on an angle grinder works quicker.

If you want to do frames you'll need a shipping container, a 3 phase compressor and a sandblasting hose the size of a fire hose.

My compressor runs 320/lm and it runs flat out for my cabinet sandblaster.

when I was a kid worked at a furniture factory sweeping floors for money for motorbikes, I remember he had a huge old air vessel probably 1.5 cubic meter and just a average size twin clisby air comp keeping air upto it
funny thing it worked(boy did work) :P running the spray shop, staple guns, nail guns :o now only if he hooked up 2x air compressors the 1 poor bastard would'nt have had to work so hard (like all day and a early start in the morning)
shit havent remembered that for about 40 odd years
