I have the opportunity to grab a sandblasting cabinet. Its not massive but good enough to do some bits and pieces.

In terms of wheels im not entirely sure yet....will find out later.

I just wanted to know if people are at all interested in having some small sandblasting work done, and at not too dear prices :wink:

If so I might grab 'er! 8)

Gafmo,

I've got a sandblast cabinet from Hare & Forbes ( a top-loading one on a stand, rather than the larger side-load type).

I reckon I could fit a clutch cover in mine. A gearbox casing would probably just fit but would probably be too heavy and too awkward to do.

I made my own cabnet. Used an old oil tank for house heaters. They come with legs and all. Used a drill and jigsaw to make the necessary holes and stuff, bought a cheap sandblasting kit and I'm away like Flyn. In hind sight I should mave made the door a full side panel then I could have fitted the bonnet in!!

PS: you need a fn big compressor to make it effective, I ended running a 16cfm straight from the tank with an inline moisture trap, now it works well!!
