That's great work. I wish I had a compressor big enough to run a blast cabinet. Some day!

That big blue tank is the one that will ultimately run it, after I finish rebuilding it. I have a 30 gallon Speedaire that has to work pretty hard for it. The blue one is a 60 Gallon 5 HP Eagle with bad rings I picked up for 50 dollars.

I am using Glass bead, just sits in the inside and if I want to change it out I can just pour it out or vacuum it out. I plan on adding a Cyclone separator to it some day.

I don't see a vent.

All blast cabinets have a shielded vent to the outside air. Usually at the top back area by the door.

This will give you the air flow to exhaust the spent dust particles out of the cabinet thru your vacumm hose connection (also should be shielded)

I have a couple blast cabinets. You can get all kinds of parts, vacumm and ideas from the **** Blast website.

Great job so far.
