I curious what others have done with the placement of their hose(s) entering their blast cabinet & why they choose that location?
I am redoing some things on my HF Sandblasting Cabinet to get it working better and will be adding a media control valve at the bottom door & a foot pedal control. Initially I was planning on cutting two holes I need on the front hopper panel, top corner area such as is recommended in the Tacoma Kit. However, the little I have used my cabinet the hose has been a pain to deal with. I’m not sure if this was due to the short length of the original hose or entrance to the cabinet?
One modification I just finished was painting the inside of the cabinet white & adding a second halogen flood (120watt) bulb. It actually is so bright it hurts my eyes!
