Cabinet Media Blaster
 

After learning that the local do-it-yourself media blasting place gets $1.25 per minute for renting one of their units, I'm seriously looking for a good cabinet media blasting unit.

Anyone have any suggestions or experiences (good or bad)? Would prefer a stand-alone unit with light and exhaust.

Thanks,

Blair

I have a T.I.P. brand 29 x 60. It works like a charm. I have the vacum canisters for the dust control. I couldn't live without it. I use mostly glass bead, but they offer lots of different media for it.

VERY nice equipment.

A blasting cabinet isn't a good place to try to save a few $$$. Buy at least one size bigger than you think you'll need...it'll come in handy sooner than you think. Voice of experience speaking here.

blair,
dont know how close you are to the jefferson county fair grounds, but you can pick one up there at the end of april. i paid $300 for mine and came with 3 different types of media.its the size of a 55 gallon drum. it suits my needs just fine.

This is the one I have. Good price and size, and metal. It will fit wheels and have even done a trans x member in it. Anything bigger I'll send out.

Ive easily gotten my money out of it. Dont know how I got by without one before.

I think Mo & Dad built ours...it's super big, but maybe the handiest tool in our shop...

I have a TIP cabinet as well, I just wish I bought a bigger one at the time. I have a model 965 and is plenty big but I could always use a bigger cabinet... Good luck https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif
