A decent tabletop blasting cabinet?

[gixxer]

So I am looking for a decent blasting cabinet. I know that some don't seal all that well, what about top opening, side opening, vacuum hookups? I plan on using ceramic media. Do I absolutely need a dust collection system or can I run dryer hose out the garage? Here were a couple random cabinets I found.

Blasting makes a tremendous mess. Silica media will kill you. I've never blasted in a cabinet, just outside. I would make sure the cabinet seals pretty good.

I just picked up a clark very similar to the cyclone cabinet in the link and I
absolutley love it. As far as the seal goes I don't spend large amounts of time at it
though I wouln't want to be without it anymore.

You can seal the cabinets with a tube of silicone rubber.

I have the HF one you linked to.

It has an outlet sized for a shop-vac hose. You want the dust collection because the blasting creates a huge positive pressure that blows out dust and abrasive.

The HF cabinet has some major leaks around the bottom (the door seals well); if I blast for 30 minutes, there is about 1 quart of media on the ground. A lot of the seams come pre-caulked, but apparently not all of them.

That cabinet does come with a gun, hose, and 4 nozzles although this is not printed on the box.
