After owning a cheapie bead blast cabinet I have the following thoughts:
1. They suck
2. They leak all over
3. They suck
4. The hose dries out after short period of time inside the cabinet.
5. They suck
6. Buy one from an autobody repair shop web site and pay $200 or more and you will be happier.
If u do buy one; caulk and tape ALL seams and buy the light or you can't see to work.. and dont waste your money if you do not have a 220v compressor with at least 10cfm... you're gonna HATE it if you dont have the right volume of air available.
I probably have a 1lb of glass bead in my lungs.. I am doomed.. thats why I am having fun NOW..
