I also have a Craftsman sandblaster, looks to hold a sack or so

sand. What pressure is required to use that sandblaster? I
imagine if
you go off and on rather than full on, it would work longer.
Sorry, I
got it at a yard sale, no instructions.

If you want to tell me to google, that this has been answered
before or
that I'm lazy, please engage your IGNORE button.


Buy a regulator and try different pressures. I would start with 70
PSI.

I have a Sears sandbaster from the 1970's that holds the sand in a
pressurized screw-on cup. Its max rating is 50PSI.
