Upgrade Deadman Nozzle and Load Abrasive
At 8:49 in
This sand blaster was useless, Until I did this.
What happens here
The presenter addresses the nozzle of the deadman switch, explaining that the small, factory-provided nozzles (black, with small holes) caused clogging. He introduces a 6-piece Deadman Switch Replacement Set from Central Machinery (Harbor Freight) which includes a larger, "pink" nozzle with a wider opening. He replaces the current nozzle on his deadman switch with this larger one, noting that he wished he had known about it before straining his entire media supply. He then pours Black Diamond Coal Slag abrasive media (50lb bag by US Minerals) into the sandblaster's tank using a red funnel, which came with the sandblaster.
Goal: Prevent nozzle clogging by upgrading to a larger nozzle and loading the abrasive media.
