I built a blasting cabinet 20 years ago and put a small squirrel cage
blower on it. The blower was vented outdoors. It was just enough to create
a negative pressure when in use. Abrasive fell to the bottom to re-use and
the dust went out doors. No mess or dust in the shop. Best of all it cost
me about $25 USD.

I've been using a similar system for years. The damned vacuum cleaner
units that come with cabinets leave a lot to be desired------often leaking
fine dust into the shop, and a less than comfortable noise level.

I'll hook it into our central blower system and have a blast gate in line so
I can choke it or it will suck it empty.
