Have any of you tried sand/soda/shell blasting with your compressor? I ask because I have a working, but very ugly, Heath H9 terminal. Corrosion has worked under a lot of the gray and black paint. I'd like to blast the metal clean and repaint the whole thing. I have no experience but it seems like it would be better than many hours spent with wire wheel, sandpaper and whatever else.

CDL has an offer on the table for the donation of a used 5HP air compressor.
Grainger Model is 3Z724, needs work.
Any value during workshops other than air for soldering stations?
For vintage computer I use one for cleaning dust out and blowing water off boards I washed. Not critical piece of equipment. 5HP 220V is probably overkill for this usage. Mine is normal outlet type and annoyingly loud. Best to have hose that can get outside for my typical usage. -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
