Please Recommend an Inexpensive Blast Cabinet

I’m thinking about buying this cabinet.

I have a $20 off coupon. Is this a good cabinet or should I look for something in metal. What else should I look for?

I like the Harbor Freight model.

Make sure you seal the seams as you are putting it together though. And I would also suggest getting a reclaimer kit as money allows. It will let you see better while working and save you some blast media.

I have an ebay cabinet thats ok. I think I paid something like $100 for it. It works well, but I wish it were just a bit larger.

I was looking at the HF model. I'm wanting a benchtop so I can put is away when it is not in use.

Go to craigslist and get one used. The cabinets don't wear out, the gloves, window and gun do, but they are all relatively cheap. I paid $400 for an industrial 48x48 econoline unit a few years ago, and it's been great. A coat of paint and a new gun and you can't tell it's nearly 40 years old.

Also remember you need a lot of dry air to run one.

I have this one. Works great and is half the price of the Northern one.

It is also smaller than the one he listed.

Thanks everyone. I just picked up the Tractor supply one for 99 plus tax.

Yes, but the OP didn't specify a size. He said benchtop.
