Abstract

An improved blast handle that is equipped with an operator input panel to permit the operator, at the blasting site, to adjust the pressure and/or the media mixture ratio. This permits the "fine tuning" of the blast to adjust for changing blast requirements as the substrate material changes. Since the operator has complete control of the blasting parameters, the risk of damaging the substrate or target is minimized.
