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.
