I just bought one, they sell two sizes here in Australia, probably the same everywhere, as they come from china. its the bigger one with a stand and about 2'x3' I havent set it up yet, will do so this weekend. But a guy I rang said you cant get sand anymore as it is carcinagenic, so I would second the make sure your wearing good breathing apperatus if your using sand. Up to now I had just been using a hand held sandblaster in the yard, getting sand from ****hole to breakfast and everywhere in between, so I thought a cabinet was the go. pity I didnt see the thread, could have saved myself some money.
does anyone know where a good place to buy the gloves is? anywhere local like a home depot or tractor supply co?
How about HERE! Located in Canfield...not sure if thats close to you but its in the same state at least! Bill
Yeah Canuck, I bet thats the real thing for a BIG cabinet...for the tough stuff anyway. The siphon feed is less fooling around due to the recycling action however. I'm figuring a regular siphon gun would be useless to use with this due to being unable to shut off sand flow? I guess if you were fast enough you could just reach down and flip the ball valve shut but that would get old quick. Hmmmm....maybe another ball valve at the sandhose/gun junction? Bill BTW...I mentioned this blaster to two people and BOTH offered me outdated propane cylinders to use. Talk about easy to pick up! They're EVERYWHERE!
Now THATS a site to add to favorites! Mechanix Illustrated was the real deal. Loved it! Thanks BT! Bill
