Not bad as long as you have a compressor that can run it.

That's what she said :(

Seriously tho, I'd love to have a blast booth. And a powder coating set up, weld shop, sheet metal bender. Basically a whole shop.

I have a blast cabinet and they come in handy for a lot of detailing projects.

This cabinet looks as cheap as it is (look at the door seals). Unless you have teh ability to put it on a cart and wheel it outside of your shop, beware. Cheap cabinets leak dust and that dust settles everywhere in your shop.

Also, you need to make sure that you will be able to get the consumables that you need for teh cabinet (nozzles, viewing lens tear sheets, etc.).

Finally keep in mind that you generally need to have a regulated air source for the cabinet. You will want to run the cabinet between 60 and 90 psi depending on your media and nozzle.

Very good info. Would make rust removal, etc. soooo much easier!

Now how many psi would be enough to defur CBT's gerbils without killing them?

I would need pictures of said gerbils to be able to answer that question.

Well, I was going to oblige and send this thread right in a handbasket... but, it's kinda scary what comes up when you google gerbils! :D Do not search for Armageddon gerbil... or ER's and gerbils...

Now where do you typically get your different types of blasting media?

Try the search function, noob! :lol:

Or NAPA, Autozone, Advance Auto, Pep Boyeeeeeees, etc. Sears sells so many tools I wouldn't doubt if they have it also.

Tractor Supply, local automotive paint store or mail order.

The problem with mail order is the shipping charges will eat you up.

Gerbils and ER, huh???? definitely won't be looking at that from work!!! :rolleyes:
