Tap a dot to see what each part of the Carbide 600 + Inductor Tank rig does.
Part 1
Pressure washer connection
Threads onto the pressure washer you already own. No compressor, no extra power.
Part 2
Inductor tank ยท 250 lb
Holds up to 250 lb of dry media. Fill once and blast until the job is done.
Part 3
Carbide nozzle ยท 600 hr
Carbide 600 nozzle rated for around 600 hours of blasting before it needs replacing.
Part 4
Media line + control valve
Dial the media flow up or down. Dry media feeds evenly, so the line doesn't clog.

Carbide 600 and the inductor tank, running on everyday pressure washers.
No compressor. No dust cloud. Just the pressure washer you already own.
Screw the nozzle onto your pressure washer wand and drop the feed line in dry, sifted media.
Start the water first, then open the media. Blast. Media off first, water off last.
Bare metal flash-rusts in hours. Rust Inhibitor in the water, then AP1 coating.

6-hour job. 5 minutes of downtime.

I bought the gravity feed after trying the regular pickup hose. Big difference. Turn the pressure washer on, get vacuum going, then turn the valve open. I wasn't stopping every couple minutes screwing around with the sand. Just kept feeding. Great job!

Just opened it today, and the machining is impressive. I've gone through plenty of ceramic nozzles over the years, and this feels like a real industrial tool. Everything threads together perfectly, and it has some weight to it. Looking forward to using it on my trailer project this weekend.

7 minRim to bare metal1964 F-350 wheelIt made a believer out of me. I did a rim off a 1964 F-350 that had never been cleaned. 7 minutes and it was down to metal.

No warpingCleaner than dry blasting, no dust cloudPickup rear endHonestly works great. I've dry blasted before and this is way cleaner. I didn't have any issues warping the metal, just keep moving. You will get some flash rust on bare steel. I just dried it off and treated the metal right after. I put a tarp under what I'm working on and most of it just falls right there.

If you have parts that you need sandblasted and don't want to buy a big sandblaster because they're expensive: this will make your pressure washer into a sandblaster. All you need is a pressure washer and a bucket of sand.
Owner videoParts at home, no blast cabinet
One thing that I never have done, not a single time in my life, is sandblasting. I know the benefits of it. It can take rust off a metal like nothing else can do.

Straight answers to what everyone wants to know before their first blast.
Question 01
The one you already have, gas or electric. Flow (GPM) matters as much as pressure: a washer with good flow often blasts better than a higher-PSI one with weak flow.
Question 02
Dry, coarse media only.
Never use play sand. It's too fine, holds moisture and is the fastest way to clog the line.
Question 03
Ceramic nozzles are wear parts. How long they last depends on your media and pressure, which is why the Ceramic Series ships with 2 spares. The Carbide 600 nozzle is solid tungsten carbide and lasts many times longer, so it's the one for full shells, frames and repeat jobs.
Signs it's time for a new nozzle: the pattern gets wider, cutting slows down and you burn through more media.
Question 04
Bare metal flash-rusts within hours once it's wet. Two steps stop it:
Question 05
The gravity-fed bag and tank systems feed media steadily, so they don't clog the way a suction bucket can.
