Thread: Is this a good deal on a sand blasting cabinet?

Not too bad of a price for what you get. I built my own using some 18 gauge and the blasting components from Grainer Supply catalog. Main reason I built one was to get the size I wanted. Also scored a dust evac unit from a business in town that installed a larger unit. For shop use, the one you linked looks like a decent price and should work fine for home use.

I've got two of the large Harbor Freight units, and I have got to do some modifying on them. I am going to add a dust collector of some sort, because the dust flying around inside makes it hard to see. Secondly, I am going to put a bigger light inside, for the same reason.

The one you are looking at looks nice. This is one of those "how did I ever live without it tools." However, you need a really good compressor to keep up, or you stop and wait for it to catch up.

can't be as bad as the snap on 1 we have at school. it was a nice unit, but b4 I was enrolled in the class, a year or so b4, sombody decided it would be a good idea to blast the INSIDE OF THE WINDOW, now ya can't see much, and sombody got angry because of the hazed window, and punched the window, and it has a crack too.
