I built a blasting cabinet for a friend who used it with both siphon &
pressure feeds. The disadvantage of the pressure feed is the need to
stop and re-fill the media container - outside the cabinet. Plus the
pressure feed hose is bulkier & stiffer - less 'wieldy'. The siphon
feed continuously recycles the media into the lower half of the unit.
He felt that the pressure feed was 'stronger' and thus useful for
specific tasks.
