Guys,

can anyone recommend me a small or medium sandblasting cabinet that is not too expensive
but relatively decent.

I am in USA

Thanks

Look herehttp://www.tptools.com/Default.aspx
I have a 780 in my shop that I use with glass beads and a larger Cleco
cabinent to use with alox

Went to their web site.
And found this warning -
"We do not recommend the use of silica or any type of sand in our abrasive blaster
cabinets."

That's kind of strange warning for a sandblast cabinet or I am missing something here.

Suspect tit has to do with silicosis(sp?) that comes from inhaling
silica dust. I quit using sand 20 years ago. Aluminum oxide does a
much better job and last a lot longer than sand. The other thing about
sand is there are often larger particals in with it that will cause
clogging problems. If you don't need alox there are other media like
"Black Beauty" or "Black Star" that will work OK for blasting un-
hardened steel. What do you need to blast?
