Yeah, I've also wanted one for about 4-5 years. Finally got to a point I just NEEDED TO HAVE IT to get some things done quickly. With how cheap I got it, It paid for itself the first day I used it!
Great breakdown. I'm 6'2" and I had the same crick in my neck until I put a set of casters on the legs. That lifted it up enough that I no longer have to hunch to get my arms into the holes and look through the top. Plus, I can wheel it over to the garage door and work were I won't spill any sand, then wheel it back when I'm done.
I have a smaller model meant for bench top. I mounted it to my shop wall. Unfortunately being in a wheel chair I wasnt tall enough for the larger cabinet. But I make do with this smaller one. I also had to seal all my edges as it leaked bad. But for the price you can't beat it. If the gun is crap you can always buy a higher quality one and use it down the road. That's my plan. I've restored 2 1989 Honda fl400 pilots and working on a 1972 Chevy k20 and its so nice being able to blast away rust and crappy paint. The paint on the back wall is all blasted off. That's how much I use mine
Wow that must be a lot of blasting. Even with a full 120psi I its difficult to get the paint off of mine, even when I try, lol. Anyway, I'd like my unit to be higher, so I will probably put it on some casters which adds convenience for moving it around, too.
You could put an led bulb in place of the mono filament bulb you have in your drop light and this would allow it to run with no heat coming off it what so ever. Thanks
This is branded in my local market as the HAFCO SB-200, which I am looking at buying. Thanks for the review! (and lol at the swastika and the response to the swastika! that was a bit of unexpected bonus content!)
Wife bought me the same cabinet she had it delivered to the house. nice surprise! of course then it had to be assembled. wasn't all that bad. my only complaint is the hoses collapsing and prolonging the blasting time immensely. tries different hoses to no avail.
When I bought mine, I "test drove" the one in the store and guessed that it was about 4" too low for me to work comfortably with, so I also picked up four 3" locking casters and fit them under the legs. It's at the perfect height now, and portable. I also use a small shop vac, but never have the gloves or sides suck in unless I don't remove the cap in the back. (NOTE: If you don't run the vacuum, make sure that cap is on! My buddy wanted to blast something quick and didn't want to go turn on the vacuum, and filled my shop with dust in about 10 seconds!) Like any sandblaster, this thing uses a LOT of air. I have one of Harbor Freight's "$99 special" 20 gallon air compressors and a 20 gallon compressor in my service van, about 160' of 1" pipe in my shop, and I tie in 2 converted forklift propane tanks for reserve, and both compressors run constantly after blasting for about two minutes. One of these small shop size compressors won't even come close to keeping up.
GlockG34 We're on the same page! I'm about to build a frame underneath mine, with casters. Thinking I need about 8 to 10" to prevent the creak in my neck and severe neck and shoulder pains the next day (TEXT NECK!) Besides, the casters would make it nice to roll around the shop. It seems nothing in my shop stays in the same place for long. Too small of a space, and too much stuff going in and out all the time! Thanks for the comment! :-D
Try wearing laytex gloves when you put your hands into the gauntlets... Saves the issues you experience with your hands getting stuck... It also keeps the gauntlets a little fresher!
Thanks for the suggestion, that may keep the gloves a bit fresher for sure... but it won't help make my hands any smaller, thats why they are difficult to get on and off... they're too small! I actually tore them to shreds because I require too much force to get them on and off.
Nice video man! Did people really thumbs down this? Wow. Anyway this is the setup I'd like to go with and I was wondering what compressor that is that you have there. I can tell it's the Harbor Freight one but what size and all that? Thanks for the vid!
Sure is nice having a blast cabinet in the shop. I love having mine. You got a great but on that one. Maybe you can build some risers to bring it up to a more suitable height for you so your not bent over so bad. A couple of 4x4 timbers may work wonders. Adam
Abom79 This is about a month old... so technically it is older. I won't be uploading them in any particular order, so you'll see me from going from fuzzy to beard, to EPIC BEARD, back to 5 o'clock shadow an awful lot. LoL!
zinfer1 mmmmm frosting. :-D The plastic screen they put on them seems to get cloudy pretty quick, yup. The glass underneath stays pretty clear though due to that protection.
Thanks for showing 👍it might help your neck strain if you make a tray or the legs to sit on with a little frame round it to stop the legs drifting off .and put it on castors large ones in your case so you don't have to stoop over it ,I made one for mine it's more comftable and you can wheel it round your shop with ease .Ant from Wales UK .
Yep! I need one with some nice swiveling dollies on it. Something for the future that I still haven't gotten around to. Maybe next time I clean out the garage. Thank you!
How did that small air compressor work for running the cabinet? I only have 110 in my garage and can only get up to a 30 gal air compressor. How much run time do you get before have to let the compressor charge back up? Thanks
Question- having hard time getting some paint off pair of forks , blaster working fine on other materials, so something is really baked on these things and it’s taking forever, any tips? I have pressure at 80 psi and like I said it works fine elsewhere.. thanks
The "sand" eventually turns into a fine powder and loses its abrasiveness. I've been using glass beads mostly, so its not really sand. Sand isn't as effective and gets powdery easier. The media needs to be replaced when it stops cutting. Hope that helps explain things! Thanks much for the question!
Maybe perhaps adding stands to the legs as a proper? Might help but, you seem pretty sharp I assume that crossed your mine already. Maybe ones used for, beds might work?
Thanks for sharing your insight with this product. I'm in a learning curve and absorbing everything. That said, you mentioned the height. I'm 5'3", so that is good to know the cabinet is short for me. Have you considered using blocks under the legs to elevate it to a good height for yourself? What is your experience with silica as a blasting material?
a few years have passed and wondering how your cabinet is doing now ?? and i have another question, would you have bought this one and still modified it or spent extra money for a better one?? thanks for your video bro!
Thanks for the question! I still have this one now, no complaints other than I feel the gun isn't the best quality. I suppose changing that and I'll be just fine! 😀
Here is a fast and easy way to improve your cabinet. You can purchase a USA Made upgrade kit from TP Tools in Canfield Ohio. Part # US-30 for $89.00 The kit includes pickup tube & siphon gun. The kit works great!
LoL! I'm going to cover that in an upcoming video because people keep asking about or and commenting about it. LoL! There's actually a little story that goes along with it.
Hmmm... I think you'll just BARELY get it in there, but you won't be able to move it around much. Probably not the best cabinet for what you want to do. Thanks for the question!
My 60 gallon compressor that I have nowadays seems to hold up pretty well, it doesn't stop running, but it keeps on going without having to pause. If I do stop, I can get a little more pressure, and as thus more power for stubborn spots. It works well! Thanks for asking!
Jalopy Boys, I have a pretty small 30 gal compressor and with the gun that came with the cabinet, I was able to make pretty good progress blasting at 40 to 50 psi without the compressor cycling too much. I recently upgraded to an Eastwood gun, the pattern is bigger but I have to set the regulator to 80 psi. Because of the new gun, I have to wait on the compressor to catch up about every minute.
I rank you with SCOTTIEBKILMER and PROJECT FARM for you efficient demonstration . You're prepared with your equipmtent and you know what you need to say . I think I'll subscribe. And I forwarded this to my son. ...Did I say nice job ? Best of luck.
Wow thank you sir! That is an honor! Check out my other channel if you get bored, I get more into dirty gritty VW projects and other things. th-cam.com/users/duckmancycles
You probably see the plastic jar. It belonged to my exgirlfriend and she filled it with girly products. So I wrote TAMPONS on the side of it in all sorts of historically evil symbols that somewhat closely look like the letters. I'll cover that in another video for you. LoL!
You're the only one that saw the pentagram and ever commented about it... there's lots more there... and its not a sprayer either lol. Here's a follow-up video talking about what you see. Its not exactly what you think... th-cam.com/video/JEGIXGDf73Q/w-d-xo.html
Not as much, believe it or not. I didn't believe it myself when I read it at first, but after multiple high power AC switches failing on low power DC I found out what was wrong. Not rated properly for the application.
I tore up both of mine recently. Forcing my big hands in and out of them hasn't been good to them. I'm thinking ebay. I see a lot of them on there. I need to order a set really soon.
That depends highly on the blaster and media you're using, you'll have to check the specs of the unit you're interested in. :-D I couldn't really tell you much, but I hope that helps steer you in the right direction. Thanks for the comment!
Dave Rowe Just the factory one that came with it. I don't think thats much help to you though, but its extremely worn and still works just fine for what I do. :)
Did you see something in the video that offended you? Here is my response: th-cam.com/video/JEGIXGDf73Q/w-d-xo.html
You have no idea how long I've wanted one of these. Wicked score!

vvtheduckvv yeah its definitely well used! Casters would be a good idea. I know mounted to the wall sucks at times when its in the way
You could put an led bulb in place of the mono filament bulb you have in your drop light and this would allow it to run with no heat coming off it what so ever. Thanks
+skyym3 Thats a good idea, and they're getting much cheaper now, too
You might consider just building a small platform or use cinder blocks to raise the cabinet up some . . . I can relate.
Yep, I considered one with a few dolly wheels under it to make it easy to move.

Thanks for the comment! :-D
I use drywall dust filters in my shop-vac and they filter the dust great, Ive got my vac sitting right next to the cabinet.
Thats a good idea, but I don't like the noise either. My vac goes outside. :)
vvtheduckvv
Yeah, the noise is a good point.
We still have our cabinet..... fed it A LOT of CARS over the years!

Yup, I'm thinking a 2x4 frame underneath it with some casters to make it easy to move around. :-D
Hey so is this one of them older videos you just now edited, or did you just film this one?
Abom79 This is about a month old... so technically it is older. I won't be uploading them in any particular order, so you'll see me from going from fuzzy to beard, to EPIC BEARD, back to 5 o'clock shadow an awful lot. LoL!
Yea I forgot how burly that thing got ti I seen your other new vid...lol
Yeah, and it got even bigger than that. I didn't shave it for another 2 months, lol! :)
I've had a problem with mine and replaced the glass once. But it ends up frosting the glass fairly quickly.
zinfer1 mmmmm frosting. :-D The plastic screen they put on them seems to get cloudy pretty quick, yup. The glass underneath stays pretty clear though due to that protection.
you could weld some more angle iron to the legs to lengthen out.

Try some oven cleaner, and lay it out in the sun! Hope that helps!
I have a stupid question?
The sand gets used over and over until you change it out?
Pretty good vid/ thanks alot😇
The "sand" eventually turns into a fine powder and loses its abrasiveness. I've been using glass beads mostly, so its not really sand. Sand isn't as effective and gets powdery easier. The media needs to be replaced when it stops cutting. Hope that helps explain things! Thanks much for the question!
No Thank You.
I ve been using play sand and yes it is powdery but it still cuts not as good and it gets everywhere lol
Maybe perhaps adding stands to the legs as a proper? Might help but, you seem pretty sharp I assume that crossed your mine already. Maybe ones used for, beds might work?
Excellent Video review
Anybody notice the swastica at .0:39
You're not the first... here is my response: th-cam.com/video/JEGIXGDf73Q/w-d-xo.html
Tape the holes in the door with duct tape.
Wat did you use to block the leaks and did you hav to take it part to block the leaks
I connect a vacuum, any leaks don't leak outwards, instead they leak in. No worries! 😀😀😀😀
Nice I should get one.
put it up on some concrete blocks to raise it up some. Some patio bricks
Glad to see you remember me, its been a while. I'll knock it off the bricks... bad idea. LoL!
vvtheduckvv Big blocks of wood then bolted to them like a rail road tie.
your not going to move a railroad tie. bolt it down.
Something like that, yes. Thinking a simple square frame with 4 casters in each corner and a shelf over the top of it. :)
Thanks for sharing your insight with this product. I'm in a learning curve and absorbing everything. That said, you mentioned the height. I'm 5'3", so that is good to know the cabinet is short for me. Have you considered using blocks under the legs to elevate it to a good height for yourself? What is your experience with silica as a blasting material?
Silica stuff makes a lot of dust, can't see a damn thing. I wouldn't recommend it.
hi can do granite headstone too
Dude I want to buy one to help restore my '65 VW Bug
It'd be a great investment!
a few years have passed and wondering how your cabinet is doing now ?? and i have another question, would you have bought this one and still modified it or spent extra money for a better one?? thanks for your video bro!
Thanks for the question! I still have this one now, no complaints other than I feel the gun isn't the best quality. I suppose changing that and I'll be just fine! 😀
I thought there was a bike inside the cabinet, lol.
Cmdel34 LoL! I haven't done that yet, but I have had a VW transmission in there once. :-D
Why don't u put a brink under it to raise it up
Here is a fast and easy way to improve your cabinet. You can purchase a USA Made upgrade kit from TP Tools in Canfield Ohio. Part # US-30 for $89.00 The kit includes pickup tube & siphon gun. The kit works great!

Haha, the little white plastic thing with the swastica and pentagram on it.
LoL! I'm going to cover that in an upcoming video because people keep asking about or and commenting about it. LoL! There's actually a little story that goes along with it.
Could you blast 19" wheels in this, or is the cabinet too small?
Hmmm... I think you'll just BARELY get it in there, but you won't be able to move it around much. Probably not the best cabinet for what you want to do. Thanks for the question!
Raise the cabinet 8-10 inches with some 4x4's
Yes indeed, that is the thought. :)
Hey sand is good for your lawn gulfcorses use it. Oh ya fl is all sand.
Did you remove the air inlet plug on the back? May be the reason your gloves are blowing up and your sides sucking in.
I sure did, but it still happens. That little shop vac really SUCKS! (Haha!) With the plug in, that effect is even more dramatic, lol.
put an LED bulb in the lamp = very little heat
That is very very true. Thanks for the comment!
WHAT DEGREE IS THE ANGLE ARE THE BOTTOM PART PARTS ,THAT IVE ON MY BENCH TOP PLEASE SIR
Curious to know why is there a swastica on you can at 47s.?!?!?
Response to these questions in a video! th-cam.com/video/JEGIXGDf73Q/w-d-xo.html
How does that air compressor hold up to to the blaster. does it run out of air fast and have to stop blasting and wait for it to fill up?
My 60 gallon compressor that I have nowadays seems to hold up pretty well, it doesn't stop running, but it keeps on going without having to pause. If I do stop, I can get a little more pressure, and as thus more power for stubborn spots. It works well! Thanks for asking!

Thank you very much!
How does running DC through an AC switch make it wear faster?
Electrical arcing when the contacts disconnect.
Yep, and they get welded, and electrolysis for what it's worth.
@@eaglekeeper6056 That doesn't happen with AC?
Not as much, believe it or not. I didn't believe it myself when I read it at first, but after multiple high power AC switches failing on low power DC I found out what was wrong. Not rated properly for the application.
Use medically people reusable gloves instead of powder
+Kathryn Winski That would only make the gloves tighter. The powder keeps my hands dry so they don't stick... because the gloves are too tight.
Where do I find a new right glove? Mine has been torn and really leaks.
I tore up both of mine recently. Forcing my big hands in and out of them hasn't been good to them. I'm thinking ebay. I see a lot of them on there. I need to order a set really soon.
how strong the air compressor needed for sandblasting?
That depends highly on the blaster and media you're using, you'll have to check the specs of the unit you're interested in. :-D I couldn't really tell you much, but I hope that helps steer you in the right direction. Thanks for the comment!
What size tip do you run with the play sand? - I'm running harsh abrasive and very hard to blast even with 16 cfm
