Cool.

I dont know what kind of blast cabinet you got or how big it is...however, make sure you hook a shop vac to the back of it and have it on while you are blasting. It is a MUST!!!

Good luck, have fun, if you have questions, lemme know, I have been doing it for a few years now.

Have you tried that compressor yet?

Hello, The compressor in the picture next to your blaster looks like the one I am planning on getting . It looks like a 7hp craftsman sears unit?
If so could you let me know how it works with the blaster? I have a 5hp unit now and it will not push enough cfm of air to work my blaster.
Thanks, Bob

Tip that will help alot: put some type of moisture absorbing packet in there,(dessicant). It will help keep the blasting media from clumping and clogging up your nozzle. Also, have a good water trap; mine broke and after a week without one my air hose looks like a water hose when I use it!
That's a great looking cabinet and you will get alot of use from it. I also like the Hurst refrigerator for when you want to shift into drinking mode.
