Blast cabinet

[drive2tractors]

Anyone used one of these?

I was mulling over getting one to do all the little bits and pieces on the Chimaera while I wait for the chassis to be built.

Any thoughts?

d2t,we have the larger version down at our workshop,extraction in our cabinet is a must (using oxide media) as the visability into the cabinet when in use is s**t , it needs to have very fine filteration on the extraction otherwise you will get a fine layer of dust over everything in the area of the cabinet,even with extraction i drag the unit outside if i wana use it ! have just purchased some fine glass bead media for use with alloy components as the other media is agressive and pits ally quiet deep(will post findings on glass bead when have used),very usefull and quicker than rubbing down parts by hand but wouldnt reccomend using in the same area that you have car in or want to keep clean,just my opinion sure others may differ,

Thanks, thats all useful info. I'd be interested to know how you get on with the glass media.
