A few years ago, I stopped in Tractor supply and bought a sandblast cabinet. Took it home, set it up and used it. Glass beads everywhere, and the cabinet was really too big for my shop. I have used it since, but decided to see if anything else is available. I found an all-plastic, very small (16" wide) cabinet and bought it. Got it today.
While the plastic cabinet was great, the hose/nozzle setup wasn't-so I adapted the old parts to the new cabinet. Waiting on silicone to dry and will test it out tomorrow.
I have been trying to downsize my machinery. I only work on knives and a few guns, so the little cabinet should be perfect and it freed up some bench space. Now, I gotta dump a mill on somebody, as I replaced it with a smaller model, too.
