assistant
The main difference between a sandblaster and a shot blaster is that a sandblaster uses abrasive material to remove paint from surfaces, while a shot blaster uses pellets or shots of compressed air. A sandblaster can be used for removing rust, paint, and other coatings from metal parts, whereas a shot blaster is more commonly used for removing paint from plastic, fiberglass, and wood.
