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 use mine all the time. i made it out of an old 55 gal. drum. i also made it a pressure feed so i dont have to knock it around or bang on it to get the media to come out. its name is frank (frankenblaster).

I take it you bought the gloves and the gun for it? Edit: I just noticed you build it on top of an open type sandblaster correct? Clow |
