I've read that these are ok, the opportunities for improvement are the lighting, seals, and viewing window gets dull quick. Once you address those it should be good to go.

I have one that is very similar that came from Horror Freight. I bought a tube of clear silicone and used liberally on all the joints and changed out the pickup tube with one from TP Tools and it works like a champ.

The real secret to making one of these work well is keeping the media DRY. REAL DRY.

Thanks guys. I dont think I can beat it for $199.

I hear you can set up a shop vac for a filtaration device, what are you guys using for filtration?

I have one from HF, used it once, its a fairly decent cabinet for the money, and with just a few improvements it could be even better. Go look thru some car magazines, like hot rod, car craft, or classic truck, or like mags. most have 20% off coupons for HF, so that'll save you 40 bucks. 160 bucks sounds even better.

Shane beat me to it.

JNJchev77 · 05-12-2010, 03:07 PM

Have one... works great for me! Just makes sure you clean the majority of the oil/grease off the parts you are blasting. Your gloves will just put it right back on there if it's not somewhat clean...

lts70 · 05-12-2010, 03:40 PM

Where it is on sale can I still use the 20% coupon?

I've never had a problem using the 20% for sale items ... give it a try, worse thing they can do is say no.

good luck!

Thats how i usually do it, I'll wait until an item I want comes on sale, then I usually have a car mag setting around, cut out the coupon, Then go get it.

I have one of those cabinets. I love it. Be sure to seal it up before you use it and after you wear the gun out get one from TP Tools.
