sandblasters
Industrial surface strippers
Sandblasters are machines that propel abrasive material—typically sand—at high pressure to clean, etch, or smooth surfaces.
They strip paint from metal, carve designs into glass, and prepare surfaces for finishing.
The term also refers to the workers who operate such equipment: The sandblasters wore protective gear against the silica dust.
