Description
A sand blaster is a machine that mixes abrasive grains with a jet of compressed air and allows the user to abrade the surface of a part, usually metal. This results in a clean though roughened part free of paint, rust, and other forms of dirt. For smaller parts the blast gun is contained in a glovebox cabinet sealed off from the outside. The user manipulates the tool with thick rubber gloves that pass through the wall of the cabinet.
The sand blaster cabinet at Artisans Asylum is located in a small room within the Metal Shop on the south wall adjacent to the enclosed loading dock.
