    Harbor Freight sandblasting cabinet...

    Haven't read all the posts so someone else may have mentioned this.... I have added four mounting posts inside the cabinet and I stretch metal screen mesh over those posts.... Most of the blast media hits the screen before getting to the glass & that slows the media & takes away it's energy...My...
