Enclosed sand blasters ?
 

Anyone have thoughts or used the freestanding enclosed Sand Blaster ? I got a lot of small stuff that I want to paint ..I am thinking the Cabinet would work good if you had enough air .....m

work great. Just hook up a shop vac to it to pull the dust out. But worthless if you don't have a compressor to supply the needed air. ;)

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.

Thats the same one I have. It works pretty good for the price. I run it on a 5hp 30 gall Craftsman it doesent keep up but its not that bad. I also bought a small cheap vac for it also .

Hey Rob .... So say a bellhousing .... how long should it take to clean ?

Re: Enclosed sand blasters ?
 

If your trying to take the paint off ? Forever :( If your just knocking off the bad spots/ and re painting it will prob be 20 min.. My offshore mounts had some rust places on them where the paint chipped off. I just hit all the bad spots and blasted over the hole thing ruffing up the paint surface for the paint to stick . Wasn't to bad .

But I have a fine sand and 120psi
