In addition, does anyone or can you use a pressurized blaster in these cabinets or only the syphon gun ones.. the pressure ones seem to work alot better.

Thanks

You gotta check out Harbor Freight. They sell a really nice one that goes on sale for $179. I also bought a pressureized blaster there too. You can rig it to work in the cabinet, but you really don't need to. The only thing I would recomend doing on the cabinet is replacing the hose that comes with it. It's really flimsy and kinks. I just used a 5/8 heater hose and added a 90 deg. fitting to make it more flexible. Other cabinets I priced in this size were more than twice the price. If I can help just let me know.

So you have used a pressurized in a cabinet?

Did it work ok? or too much pressure?

c69454, there was too much pressure. It blew dust all over were I couldn't see. The pressurized units are for large itemes like frames and such. I have no complaints at all with the unit I bought. Just make sure you have a large enough compressor to keep up. Sandblasting is hard on compressors. It's hard to make yourself quit and let the compressor catch up or rest. http://www.chevelles.com/forum/wink.gif
