Just invested $$ in media blasting equipment...

[EL1NOR]

Just bought myself a blast cabinet, lots of different types of abrasive media, an outdoor blast tank, GOT THAT NEW COMPRESSOR WIRED UP RIGHT FINALLY TO THE HOUSE! (lol reference to the post where you guys tried to help me and I blew the first ones' motor)

Sorry to link you all, but retyping all that stuff is a pain in the butt..

If you guys need anything done, let me know.

Cool.

I dont know what kind of blast cabinet you got or how big it is...however, make sure you hook a shop vac to the back of it and have it on while you are blasting. It is a MUST!!!

Good luck, have fun, if you have questions, lemme know, I have been doing it for a few years now.

Have you tried that compressor yet?

Hello, The compressor in the picture next to your blaster looks like the one I am planning on getting . It looks like a 7hp craftsman sears unit?
If so could you let me know how it works with the blaster? I have a 5hp unit now and it will not push enough cfm of air to work my blaster.
Thanks, Bob

Tip that will help alot: put some type of moisture absorbing packet in there,(dessicant). It will help keep the blasting media from clumping and clogging up your nozzle. Also, have a good water trap; mine broke and after a week without one my air hose looks like a water hose when I use it!
That's a great looking cabinet and you will get alot of use from it. I also like the Hurst refrigerator for when you want to shift into drinking mode.
