90-Gallon Professional Sandblasting Cabinet with Dust Collection – Heavy-Duty Abrasive Blaster for Rust, Paint & Grime Removal | Includes Blasting Gun Kit, LED Light & Glass Viewing Window

So OK you can actually use this for its intended purpose, but there are a few points to consider. 1. The media suction hose is too flexible and it actually collapse in use. I had to replace it in order to use the blaster. 2. The assembly/operators manual is the usual mish mash of chinglish with a couple of steps missing. You do have to use the supplied foam weatherstrip tape between the hopper and the upper cabinet. You need to use a 2" shop vac hose to use as a dust collector. This works ok and actually develops a negative pressure inside ths cabinet which reduces dust escape to almost nil. The so called glass window is actually acrylic. It comes with 4 protective sheets to protect it. A positive is that it won't shatter like real glass. 3. sealing air leaks in the high pressure hose is a pain. The adapter fitting is threaded with staright pipe threads not tapered so a standard pipe fitting never snugs up to seal the threads no matter how tight you make it The unit is quite heavy all by itself and with 59 pounds of media in the hopper would make it about 150 lbs. (estimated). P=I put a set of 4 three-inch castors with brakes on it in the provided holes in the legs so I can move it around and then lock it in place while using or storing. 4. The design is such that there is a "shelf" around the support grid which accumulates a lot of media while blasting. IF like me you want to use different kinds of media in it for different jobs then you'll have to take extra care to remove this accumulated media . I have used the same "orange" shop vac to clean this out that I use as a dust collector. Depending on the edia used there is a certain amount of very fine dust in it which makes cleaning a little more difficult. 5. My biggest gripe is the hardware supplied with the unit for assembly/ It is all made of a VERY SOFT grade of steel (dare I even call it steel?) that is very easy to strip the head of the screw out. It uses a number two or three Phillips screw driver which easily strips out these Phillips head machine screws. They also supply some self tapping screws for the glove holders that are so soft they won't make it through the pre-drilled holes without stripping the threads out. I replaced these with much stronger USA made screws. 6. I used it with about 90 PSI air from a 5 HP compressor. My C***man compressor works hard to supply enough air flow so I have to take short breaks as I go along to allow it to catch up, but that is not a complaint about the blasting cabinet. Sand blasting , by it's nature, consumes a lot of air. A bigger compressor would be better but that's a future enhancement. Assembly of this unit becomes a two person job at times due to the bulky nature of the cabinet.
