After finishing up my first car I decided to take on a conversion project. With a passion for the cars I thought it would be best to invest in the proper equipment first. I bought a small lincoln MIG last summer. Now I am thinking a bigger 60 gallon, 6hp compressor and air tools as well as a sandblaster. There is a good deal on the local classified for a sand blasting cabinet like so for $150. I have seen quite a few of these here and there at peoples houses but everyone I have talked to never used it or hooked it up. I was wondering what peoples thoughts were on it? Are they efficient and worth the money? Can they use different media in these?

I bought a brand new one from harbor freight about that size for $200 on sale. I do use it quite a bit. I welded casters on the legs so I could get it outside. I'm glad I have it. The compressor I have does use a bit of electricity, but you can get in your car and waste time, gas and more money paying some one else. I have only used glass. I think with the same tips you can do sand. You could probably put whatever media you want in it.

Does it recycle the glass pretty good or is there much waste? Clow |
