I wouldve thought so too but I had a good look on google and found only
commercial units.

> If you do any amount of sandblasting build a pressure pot type. It will do
a
> much better job at a lower pressure than the siphon type. A tank from an
air
> compressor works great. It's simple to make or relatively cheap to buy. If
> you do a web search on Google or other search engine you will find plans
for
> building them.
>
> If you do much blasting use carbide nozzles. They cost more per piece but
> last a looooong time.
