Ok, so we bought a 32x80 (22' tall) metal building that original was a dance studio downstairs and maybe some storage (not really sure). It had an apartment on one half of the upstairs and I think it was either open or lofted on the other half. At some point they turned the downstairs into a...

Then again, usually made with less cost savings in mind meaning they weren't just stamped as fast as the machine would run them. ;)

Probably built in the 80's. I know I can replace the whole thing but there are like 20 drawers in this (new to us) house and I don't want ONE to be different. :)

Oh, how I wanted to find one on CL or at an auction. I just ran out of time. I promised the wife I would get her a new cabinet with the next large order came in. Well, our largest order to date came in only a few days later. So 1 grand I dropped. The order more than paid for it so I can't...

Just to retouch on this topic. I just installed a TP Tools 850T w/vac. VERY pleased. One issue... the gloves are too big for the wife. Anyone got any sources for SMALL to MEDIUM sized gloves (hand size). 20-24" long, 7.25" or larger openings.

Still looking to see if this wilkerson is really THAT good?

I'm curious myself... I did just buy a cheap 50 footer. :)

Is it REALLY that good?!?! Grainger wants almost $200 bucks for it! My compressor probably wasn't that much (I got it when a company was going out of business). ;)

This also explains why it works well for a while and then starts to mess up and seems to not stop messing up. She gets pretty frustrated with it and I'm not much help in figuring it out as it LOOKS like it's flowing (or trying to). What about my buddy's idea of bringing in some air from a T at...

Ah ha! Ok... I will have to sift things out and get some better/multiple traps going on! Water can build up QUICK in the trap. I am in South Louisiana so it is always humid! Plus the tank I'm relying on now has a broken pet **** so I can't drain it. :( Gonna fix that as soon as I get my...

amolaver, Yeah, that would be my plan if I got a pressure pot. I have A water trap/filter on there... but I'm sure it's junk. I plan on taking a few other steps to fix that though. Let me as this though... does the moisture cause surges and sputtering and then basically "go away" or is it...

Oh, sorry... I would feed this into my current cabinet. Not out in the open. The area that I'm blasting is about 4"x4".

I'm digging it... just sure I'm ready to swing the $900 price yet. What about one of those cheap pressure bottles from HF? I know it's not a perm solution but it would only be 130 bucks and if it got me a little further then I'd have more time to save for the real deal.

Yeah it's on the agenda. My buddy has some 60 gallon tanks at his shop that aren't fit for diving anymore so he will give me one of those. He's gonna weld some c channel on it so we can add a compressor and motor later. For now I'll join the two smaller units and when that tank becomes...

Wow, this is a busy site. Monday bump to see what the weekday crowd thinks.

Thanks will look into those options. Somethings got to change. Dodge do you think a larger compressor will work that much better than the two of these combined? I would have 60 gallons with essentially more hp/cfm per gallon wouldn't I?

If I'm running TWO compressors wouldn't it "essentially" double the CFMs? Two 6.4 compressors running simultaneously = 12.8 cfms right? I'm down for used (that's how I got this cabinet)... what brand/model would you recommend?

Also if it keeps me from upgrading the compressor could I "link" the two together? Maybe a larger volume tank that they both feed? That would increase my CFM's right?

Ok... this little rinky dink setup from Harbor Freight: http://www.harborfreight.com/garage-shop/blast-cabinets/abrasive-blast-cabinet-42202.html I've siliconed it up, tapped into the bottom with the siphon tube to be more like the big boys, even did the orifice mod by azlo found here on this...
