    In a pinch, that old CPAP air supply hose makes a great media pickup tube for your beadblast cabinet. My original hose kept collapsing, blocking the sand.

    I had a CPAP hose ready to be discarded. It fit the gun and pickup steel tube perfectly. I used the blaster today. It did not clog one single time and the hose was 100% more flexible than the original. I don’t know how long it will last with all that sand going through it, but it sure works well!  And free!

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    As always I applaud your ingenuity. I just got a replacement machine because my Phillips was recalled. Hey whats your favorite mask- one that just covers the nose, nose and mouth, or pillow pad? I haven't tried a pillow pad yet.

    I've  got a couple of old hoses in the garage - now if I just had a blaster cabinet....I have a ResMed Airsense 10 Autoset machine - the recall doesn't apply to my machine. I have used a nasal mask since 1995. Never had a problem, and I don't use a humidifier either.

    My machine has over 400,000 hours on it and the humidifier looks like something out of a Frankenstein laboratory. I no longer use it, since I lost so much weight.

    400000 hours on a CPAP machine at 8 hours a night equals 137 years.  Boy, you have had that one a long time.

    Re: CPAP users UNITE !!!

    Maybe it was 40,000 hours. I haven’t used it in a while so haven’t got that hour meter burned into my brain any more.  I figured SOMEBODY would do the math on that.
    At least it supplied parts so I could tix my Mustang parts. It is amazing how a beadblaster can make old rusty stuff new again.  Give me another 400,000 hours to work on it and maybe I can get the 69 finished.

    I still use mine.  And it is a pain.  The pain list is long, but I must use it or stagger around after a couple of days.  I'm hoping to get rid of it some day!

    It can end up being a Gordians Knot of hoses when your partner is also wearing one.😱
