Default Sand blasting media for heavy paint/filler?

Im stripping a Buffalo Forge Co. #18 drill press in preparation for
making Mucho Macho Drill Press #1
(1hp, MT3 spindle, VFD)

Ive used StripEez paint stripper, but some of the old filler will not
come up easily in the corners and crannies. Ive cup brushed where I
could, and still cant get into some of the tight places. The biggest
media I have for the blast cabinet is 40-70 crushed glass and its
taking forever to remove the paint/filler

Will I have better luck with sand?
