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 one at Harbor F a few weeks ago and they're down to $99 w/ gun and 4 tips. Before that I've used Rubber Maid trash cans and cardboard boxes. Best thing since pockets on a shirt.

This Harbour Freight store seams like its god in the States for cheaper tools. We don't get that in Canada. We get Princess Auto but not the same prices. How long would you get out of a tip? I saw a pic that someone posted awhile back that they made as a wood cabinet. I liked the size of it, as I want to be able to get the front A arms into it or possibly a door and have room to work. I've got an infrared oven at work that i'll look to powdercoat with. Well I have limited access to a small portable for larger parts and areas of my car. An oven is the next idea!
