sand blasting equipment

[Buttons1]

We are investigating investing in a small sandblasting setup.  Do you have any recommendations or equipment to check out or equipment to avoid?  We really don’t know anything about it, except that we took a class in Winnipeg from Patty Gray and she finished one of our pieces using a sandblaster and we like the matte finish that resulted.  The studio there had a really large cabinet that I’m sure we can’t afford and don’t have space for, but we’d like to be able to finish small pieces.  Thanks.
