Tooltos PS-B Pneumatic Jewelry Sandblaster | Wet and Dry, 110V and 220V
- 99 in stock
Description
Key Selling Points
- Pneumatic operation connects to your existing air compressor — blast pressure is controlled by your compressor output, giving precise, consistent pressure control across the entire session
- Wet and dry sandblasting in one machine — dry blasting for aggressive surface treatment and rust removal, wet blasting for finer texture and reduced airborne dust
- 16W fluorescent lighting illuminates the work area inside the cabinet — brighter than standard 8W cabinet lights for clearer visibility during detailed surface work
- Dust collection bag captures fine particles during dry blasting — reduces airborne dust in the workspace and simplifies cleanup after sessions
- 110V and 220V compatible — works with both North American and international power supplies without a voltage converter
- Compact 600 x 200 x 360mm footprint at 7kg — fits on a standard workbench without requiring a dedicated equipment station
About This Sandblaster
The Tooltos PS-B is a pneumatic jewelry sandblaster — it uses compressed air from an external air compressor to propel blast media at the workpiece. Pneumatic operation gives you precise pressure control through your compressor's regulator: increase pressure for more aggressive material removal, decrease it for finer surface treatment. This makes pneumatic sandblasters particularly well suited for electroplating preparation, where consistent surface roughness across the entire piece directly affects plating adhesion quality.
The enclosed cabinet design contains blast media for recovery and reuse, and the included dust collection bag captures fine particles during dry blasting sessions. The 16W fluorescent light gives you clear visibility of the workpiece surface during treatment. If you need a sandblaster that does not require an air compressor, see the Tooltos Double Valve Jewelry Sandblaster, which uses an electric motor and is available in 220V.
Choosing Between the Two Sandblaster Models
| Feature | PS-B Pneumatic — This Model | Double Valve Electric |
|---|---|---|
| Drive type | Pneumatic (requires air compressor) | Electric motor (plug in and use) |
| Voltage | 110V and 220V | 220V only |
| Lighting | 16W fluorescent | 8W |
| Dust collection | Included dust collection bag | Cabinet containment only |
| Blast valves | Single | Double (two independent blast points) |
| Choose if | You have an air compressor and want precise pressure control | You want a self-contained electric unit with double valve capability |
Best For / Not For
| Best For | Not For |
|---|---|
| Jewelry studios with an existing air compressor needing precise blast pressure control for electroplating preparation | Use without an air compressor — this machine requires a compressor to operate |
| Workshops needing rust removal and surface cleaning before plating or finishing treatments | Blast media not included — sand, glass beads, or other abrasive must be sourced separately |
| 110V workshops (North America) that need a sandblaster compatible with local power supply | Large industrial parts — the cabinet is sized for jewelry-scale workpieces |
| Jewelers who need wet and dry blasting capability with dust collection for cleaner workspace operation | Operation without respiratory protection — always wear appropriate PPE when handling blast media |

Pro Tips
- Set your compressor regulator to a lower pressure and increase gradually — starting at lower pressure lets you find the optimal setting for each material without over-blasting the surface on the first pass.
- For electroplating preparation, use a consistent blast pressure and distance across the entire piece — uniform surface roughness produces more even plating adhesion than variable treatment.
- Empty and clean the dust collection bag regularly during extended sessions — a full bag reduces suction efficiency and allows more fine particles to remain airborne in the cabinet.
- Use wet blasting mode for finer surface texture and reduced dust — the water reduces impact energy and produces a smoother matte finish than dry blasting at the same pressure.
- Drain moisture from your air compressor tank before each session — water in the compressed air line can cause uneven blast pressure and contaminate the blast media.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this machine require an air compressor?
Yes. The PS-B is a pneumatic sandblaster that requires an external air compressor to operate. The compressor is not included. Connect the machine to a compressor with a regulated output appropriate for jewelry-scale sandblasting work.
Is blast media included?
No. Blast media (sand, glass beads, aluminum oxide, or other abrasive) is not included and must be sourced separately. The type and grit of media you use determines the surface texture and aggressiveness of the treatment.
What is this machine used for in electroplating?
Before electroplating, the workpiece surface must be clean and have consistent surface roughness for the plating to adhere properly. Sandblasting removes surface oxides, contamination, and creates a uniform micro-texture that improves plating adhesion. This machine is well suited for that pre-plating surface preparation step.
What is the difference between this and the Double Valve Electric Sandblaster?
The PS-B is pneumatic and requires an air compressor, giving you precise pressure control through your compressor regulator. It supports 110V and 220V and includes a dust collection bag. The Double Valve model is electric (no compressor needed), has two independent blast valves, but is 220V only. Choose the PS-B if you have a compressor and need 110V compatibility.
Which voltage should I select?
This machine supports both 110V and 220V. Select the voltage that matches your workshop power supply at checkout. North America and most of the Americas use 110V. Europe, Asia, Australia, and most other regions use 220V.
