Sandblasting has almost become obsolete, the only thing that gets sandblasted anymore is structural steel. If your looking for a sandblasting unit, Clemco makes about the best their is.

hey i spent about 5 yrs in the blasting biz in the early 90's, the major companies i can tell you about are ones i encountered here in grand rapids, michigan. some of the equip. names were empire blasting equip. pauli and griffin. and church and dwight (inventing co. of arm and hammer baking soda) most blasting has gone the way of the dodo but new technology has brought back the feasible applications. few blasters rely soley on sand anymore, most blasting is now done with more environmentally (not nec. cost effective) media such as plastic beads, glass beads, aluminum oxide ( alt. to sand) baking soda is also a huge material now days for blasting. grand northern products, located in grand rapids mich. is a distributor for empire and church and dwight blasting equip. you can try them , i will try to find a web site for ya. by the way what u looking to blast?
good luck

check out your local equipment rental companies. blaster range from small units using shop compressors to pressurized pots requiring 200 cfm or more.
some pressure washers can handle a blast attachment.
