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?

Not sure about the dimensions of the one you are looking at, but buy one large enough for rims, engine tin, etc. I bought one on ebay years ago, and it is too small. I use it for whatever I can fit into it, but I sure wish it was larger. At some point, I will probably fix it by cutting it in half horizontally and adding in a few inches of wall height. I will also modify it so that it drains efficiently into a receptacle that I can swap out quickly and can also be used as the source. I would look for that feature as well if I were you.
I also agree with the above about hooking up the shop vac. If you don't have negative pressure, visibility becomes an issue very quickly. |
