Siphon feed pulls media through a hose from a separate container — better for larger jobs with more media capacity. The AS118-2 offers both options in one gun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat compressor do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt least 4 CFM at 90 PSI for basic operation. For continuous heavy-duty use at full 150 PSI, 12+ CFM is recommended. A 3–5 HP compressor with a 20+ gallon tank works well for most applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use soda blasting media?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The AS118-2 works with baking soda media in gravity feed mode. Soda blasting is excellent for paint removal on delicate surfaces like fiberglass, chrome, and aluminum where you want to clean without etching or warping the substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes the dual-feed system better than a single-feed gun?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dual-feed design lets you use the 18oz gravity hopper for small, quick jobs (spot rust, touch-ups) and switch to the siphon tube for large jobs where you dip into a 5-gallon bucket of media. One tool handles both scenarios instead of needing separate guns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this compare to a blast cabinet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandheld sandblasters are portable — you take the tool to the workpiece. Blast cabinets contain the media and dust, making them cleaner but limited to small parts. Use the AS118-2 for large items, on-site work, and anything that doesn't fit in a cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pro Air Tools","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50134485762241,"sku":"MJ-NP0Y-A13O","price":64.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0859\/2828\/0257\/files\/le-lematec-as118-2c-sandblaster-gun-gravity-siphon-hero_webp.jpg?v=1775841539","url":"https:\/\/velosupplycompany.com\/products\/professional-dual-feed-sandblaster-gun-kit-150-psi-with-ceramic-tip-18oz-hopper-as118-2","provider":"Velo Supply Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
