A targeting apparatus configured for attachment to a hand-held blast nozzle is presented that has a housing with a through hole to accept the nozzle, where the housing has a front face surface containing at least three optical devices that can be adjusted to a focal point of convergence of variable distance along a centerline of the nozzle outlet. The targeting apparatus can also include an array of lamps positioned around the front face surface to project task lighting on a workpiece to be blasted.
