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?

Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner
