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 have that one, it is from Princess Auto, it works OK.
Price is the same you'll pay at PA when they are on sale. A cheap 60 gallon, 6hp compressor may have trouble keeping up to it. Bad, I didn't like the gun so I use the one off my old sandy jet blaster. The air connector sticks out the front and you'll bust your nuts on it one day. It has no light, switch is useless unless you buy the PA light kit which sucks. Seems to fog (blast) the plastic film glass protectors fast. The bottom trap leaks, keep a bucket under it. Good is the price and it's better than nothing. |

What would you be running to it for air? You are right, I was going with its better than nothing. I know its not a brand name industrial one. Its just to help with a hobby ( |
