Default Re: OT sand blaster question

The HF blast cabinet can be improved upon by using TP tools for your accessories. By changing to a TP gun and siphon tube there is a significant improvement. TP markets those components as an upgrade for import cabinets. I made other improvements also that made mine a good performer. In my opinion, I saved a bundle in so doing. I got my cabinet some time ago when it was on sale, and had better features. Moving the light into the cabinet was not a good idea in my opinion. Also it makes sense to make the window easily removable to replace the clear plastic glass protector. I also put a second air nozel in the cabinet to blow abrasive away from the door, to prevent it from ending up on the floor when opening the door. Little things that make the cabinet better. Im also thinking of making a small shaker to mount on the funnel where the media feeds to improve flow.

If I can save money and improve affordably with a little ingenuity, that is what I'll do.

To address the CFM question I run 16 CFM at 90 PSI
