Nice one.
I borrowed one from a friend, it worked pretty well but I found it very difficult to see what I was doing after a few seconds of blasting. That was with the internal light on, clean screen and protection sheet and an extractor attached. Found it best to use it in the dark.

In jealous. I need a blast cabinet, did my bulk head by just sheeting off the garage........media went every where ? so not to keen in doing smaller parts without a cabinet lol

I love mine even if it does get a bit dusty and hard to see what you are doing. Ideally needs a dust extractor I think.

Tip for what it’s worth - for softer materials like ali get some glass bead media and turn down the air pressure to 40/50lb and they come up nice a shiny!

Handy bit of kit !!

 

I found I needed a minimum 25 - 30 Cu / ft compressor to get decent results in reasonable time though.

I hope my compressor will be man enough. it manages a can type blaster but you end up with a mess everywhere. hence the box. not had chance to try it yet what with being away and now with loads of new toys arriving...
