who makes a good sand blaster?

the cabinet is probably fine, its just the gun that is a pos. why not change out the gun for a better one.
I have not tried this kit yet but when my table top cabinet gun fails me I am going to try it

I agree, the gun is the most important part. I use a TP gun kit in my cabinet that the wife made for me.
