dustless blasting is the future anyways.. I thought about buying one just for the shear usability - and friends - that constantly need things blasted.

OK. I'm ready to be schooled. Please point me to some online references. I have seen many alternatives to sandblasting, (plastic media blasting, baking soda blasting, water blasting to name just a few) but not seen one powered by a regular shop vac yet. I'm interested. A quick google didn't find it for me.

I was fortunate enough to get a large blasting cabinet that my work was getting rid of through an auction for $75, full of media too. It came with its own vacuum system so I don't have to worry about hooking up the shop vac. I put it on casters which brought it up to my height and allows me to move it around the shop. My 3 hp 240v IR compressor with 60 gallon tank runs most of the time if I am constantly blasting but I never run out of air. I have another 30 gallon tank that I plan to mount under the cabinet to give my compressor a break if I ever have to do any large blasting projects. Biggest problem I have right now with it, is the nozzle keeps clogging slowing me down, but it will tear through rust and paint like nothing else.



It is approximately 40 x 40 flip top lid and has a 12 x 12 side access door on the right side.

Look at it this way, the top plate alone is worth like 3 times what I paid for the table. They had another one in the same auction that had a 2" thick plate that weighed over 5000 pounds.
