Abstract
An abrasive blasting system which utilizes a central control panel together with controls operable by the operator's feet. Dual control, at the system panel and the foot operable panel, permit the operator to adjust such parameters as the air pressure and media mix without having to stop blasting. This arrangement also leaves the operator's hands free to accurately direct the abrasive blasting within a glove box or other such enclosure.
