I just couldn’t bring myself to buy a harbor freight sandblast cabinet.

Found a home built one on craigslist that I could fit my kid in.


I paid about the same as the HF cabinet and I didn’t have to put it together.

It came with 2 Trinco carbide nozzles, a foot control, a spare set off gloves and glass.

It is 4’ x 4’ x 3’.
I figure I can fit a whole car fender in there.

Oh hell yeah! That's awesome right there!!

Great find, buddy!!!

I recommend trying a bath first. If he don't come clean then try sandblasting.

Well, it's certainly attractive.

You took away someone's bowl of rice. Nice find.

That thing is a monster! What size compressor have you got to run it?

What was the damage, if you don't mind me asking?

$200.

I figure a quart of rustoleum and it will look a lot better.

I saw that for sale awhile back. Congrats on the new score! I assume you're new to the game so when you need consumables, gloves, new tips, etc., check out TPTools.com. I've been getting stuff from them for years and they're terrific to work with.

Nice score! When you use it, make sure the kid is not in it! lol

good score, sized right and priced right!!

FF, nice pick up. You will be surprised at how much air they use though.

good job! what are you blasting first?

 

[Lhorn]

That thing is so big you could blast a whole HF blast cabinet. There's something to be said for the HF cabinet (especially at the price it goes for), but if you've got the room, you clearly got more for your money.

Yeah the HF one is a great bang for the buck; although it is a "blast cabinet starter kit" in need of better lighting and a better gun.

I figured out an easy mod to make it super easy to move with my loader bucket. I will just store it out back till my shop is finished and bring it up as necessary.
