Stop in for a cup of coffee

No, I don't have a blast cabinet. but sometimes the media sticks in the corners of the part, and may be difficult to remove.

Also, do you recycle the media to keep costs down?

How do you keep the media clean? Screens to filter out what came off from the sand?

How often do you need to change the sand? how much does it cost.

I would look into that before jumping right into it...

Nice thing about Blast Cabinets are that they are very quick in stripping. Can get a lot of pieces done in a hurry. Lets say you are restoring front end parts. Most have a funnel type floor in them so the media can recycle. Also there is a trap door at the bottom of the funnel that makes emptying and changing out media a breeze. I use Black Diamond brand media I buy from Tractor Supply for $9 bag,m 40lb bag. Lasts a long time. Use the crap outa mine !
