Hello Everyone, Sounds like the preferred choice (gratis) has been found, but... At my local Wal-Mart and other tool stores you can buy a "sandblast kit" for around $15 or so. No cabinet, just the siphon hose, fittings, and the blast nozzle. It's rather large for the use that spawned thi

Hello Walt, Hmmm. Very good question, but I have no answer. A cheap sealable dish from the local Wal-Mart might keep the smell under control enough to keep the parts indoors to prevent freezing. Obviously it would depend on the size of the parts. The freezing point of vinegar?! Sounds

That is a really great buy, Royce. Thanks for the information. It gives the pressure but not the CFM required for the #10 nozzle which is furnished and the table that I have for CFM don't go that small. That is a very important factor to consider if any amount of sandblasting is done or it will

I am on a mailing list for Harbor Freight. They send me sale notices for items which they are selling below their everyday low prices. On their current flyer, they have the bead blaster cabinet that I have on sale for $70. It's a metal cabinet. For that price, you couldn't even get all the pa
