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?

Glass is great for aluminum and pretty good for steel that is not heavily pitted with rust. You will loose some glass, but for the most part it lasts a while. You'll want to use a shop vac to suck out dust so you can see. You'll loose some glass here too. Hook your shop vac to the side port. Remove the vent in the rear so air can come in other wise you'll suck the gloves into the cabinet and will have to waste time putting it back together. This never happened to me but some other dope. The bottom of my cabinet has a dump/release to remove media. I put a 5 gallon bucket underneath to change it out. I suppose you go back and forth between glass/sand/whatever pretty easy.
