Guys,

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

I am in USA


Thanks



of you're reasonably handy, you can make one yourself. with some
modification, i used these plans

to make mine. i know people using a cardboard or large tupperware storage
bin for years without problems.

you can also use silicon carbide for a blasting grit. as it wears down, it
fractures and presents new cutting surfaces, unlike AlO2 which just rounds
off and becomes a much softer blast as it ages.

regards,
