sandblaster cabinet

[steve bain]

anyone bought one of those cheap £60 jobbies off ebay? i want one just for cleaning up small odds and sods prior to paint. stuff like bonnet latch, rear lock mechanism. that kind of thing. I have a 3hp 150L compressor thats about 10cfm so should be man enough with water seperators, long hardlines and 3 drain points so water free as can be.

I have a spot blaster that i've never used and is still in the box, but i think a blaster and cabinet makes sense to me.

Anyone with any experience?

Thanks in advance

Yeah I have one of theses, it's ok but the glass gets scratched easy making it hard to see through so make sure you fit screen protector sheets before you use it.
I use 60 grit alloy oxide in mine anything finer takes longer to clean with and creates a rediculous amount of dust.
It's good for small things and doesn't take much air to be honest so you will be fine with your conpressor.
Buy a face mask aswell because if your using it in the shed and you blast rusty stuff it becomes airborne really quickly and is dreadful if you breathe it in.

Cheers mate. I will invest in one I think based on that....
