Foot Switch Plans for Pressure Pot Sandblaster
This is a sandblasting footswitch component I have been selling on my other website since it is very desirable for my hobby for etching glass. But it is very helpful for blasting regular items geared more toward smaller pieces that are typically blasted within a cabinet.
The video below explains how it works and what it looks like.
At the moment, I am only selling the plans on how to make these inexpensively. If you are interested in buying the component already made, please contact me.
As stated, this hooks directly up to a pressure pot sandblaster and includes the following benefits:
- Saves money on both start up & ongoing cost because the supplies I show you are inexpensive.
- It is easy to make with some basic tools.
- The unit provides both a comfortable and easy to use solution.
- (Major benefit)- it provides the control of a variable flow of abrasive.
Cost for the plans?
The typical collective cost for sandblaster hoses, nozzle parts, adapters, and foot switch controls can cost hundreds of dollars, but through my research and hours of testing alternative parts, these foot switches can be made for about $15 or less. And there is no known foot switch available that also allows you to control the variable flow of the abrasive!
With this in mind, I think you will understand that the information in these plans will do more than show you how to make them easily. It will also save you hundreds of dollars or hours of time experimenting with parts and designing the setup. You get all of this here for only $14.99.
You can buy them here and get immediate access to the downloadable plans after purchase in a PDF ebook form. After payment, you will be redirected to the download page with instructions on how to save the ebook and view it on your computer.

ken
Hi Ken, I have sold a few to people that requested them and may be open to ship you one. Originally I was going to sell them on the site and still might, but I wasn’t sure if the demand was worth selling. Just send me an email if interested and we can discuss prices. They are fairly inexpensive to make, but after putting the man hours in, I still charge around $100+ due to low economies of scale.
That may change if I produce/ sell many of them. This system is pretty good and I love using it, but just don’t know if the market is large enough. Thanks
Interested in purchasing a foot control and blasting tip. Are they still for sale?
Hi Eric,are these parts available in Canada, unlike almost all other things you try to sell…USA only, don’t know the numbers of your following who are in Canada or other countries…but we blast also!!
And in some cases ahead of you…IE; glass construction blocks,I was producing 25 + years ago!
Can you elaborate on whats in the ebook, pages, pics. Yes I am interested if concerns addressed
Larry, good question. All my ebooks are available worldwide for the most part. As for the parts I recommend in the ebook, I confirm that at least one of two ships worldwide and the other it looks like they would ship to Canada. But if not, other countries should have most of these parts too.
The ebook is short and sweet of about 25 pages. It has pictures and instructions of each step to make it, along with places the parts can be ordered. If you can’t make it with the parts available to you, please let me know.
Where can I get info on overlay stencils for such work? also are stencil machines expensive as well as stencil material?
I want to use dry charcoal powder or dry graphite powder
in an air gun to do art on paper. How can I do that.
Cave men used hollow bones and pigment.
I read somewhere a mini sandblast gun at 5 psi to 8 psi
can be used. Any help will appreciated
@andrew Jackson,
This quite an interesting idea, but I have never done this. I am not sure what questions you are asking regarding it.
My only thoughts are that you would probably have to use a very fine sandblaster tip, something that is included on some of the air eraser sandblasters such as here https://www.sandblasterinfo.com/miniature-blaster-2/
Or the dental sandblasters like this: https://amzn.to/34OpOui
I’ve made a pressure assist version of a mini sandblaster https://www.sandblasterinfo.com/how-to-make-mini-sandblaster-pen-nozzle/
Feel free to share your experience or artwork if successful and we can feature you on the blog. I like this idea but not sure if it would hit/spread all over
