Re: Enclosed sand blasters ?
Go to the Harbor Freight Tools on Beach Blvd just east of Southside. Couple of years ago I bought model #39170-7vga and for my purposes (small auto repair shop) it has worked perfectly. They also have a good selection of abrasives. A compressor with plenty of capacity, and a shop vac are also needed. The supplied suction hose is sh!@, but the rest of the assembly is of acceptable quality. That model is $299 but is marked down to $199 about every third time I'm in the place.

we have a 2 stage vac on ours and it is hard to see your work when it is really rusty, besides that, its works well.....just filter the sand or glass well if you are going to reuse it

Check out www.trinco.com I have one of their suction cabinets. Works great. You can put single strength glass on the inside to take the abrasive blast and save the safety glass on the outside. Plus the vacuum system works so good you never have a problem seeing.
