[Shop-talk] Blast cabinet, media

[Darrell Walker]

Thanks for all of the blast cabinet advice!

Regarding building one, I actually found a YouTube video about making one from a large plastic storage container.  And the TP Tools plans look good, too.  But in this case, I’m willing to outsource, rather than take on another project.

Anyway, I’ve settled on the larger bench top unit that Eastwood sells.  It is almost as large as some freestanding units, and seems to have more sloped bottom than some other table top models.

I’m going to try some glass bead media initially, since it can be used on a variety of parts, and I’m removing more paint that rust.

I do plan to use a shop vac with it.

Thanks again!
