(UPDATE: Some Lowe's and Home Depot have stopped cutting glass to custom sizes. They charge about $10 for glass that size and they will cut it for free. Once the film becomes etched, just peel it off, clean the glass, and apply a new film.Īnother option is going down to Lowe's or Home Depot and having a piece of glass cut the same exact dimensions of your window. Blasting should be done as far away from the window as possible and at a 45° angle so that the media deflects off to the side of the cabinet instead of right back at it. The life you get on them depends on how close you blast to your window and what PSI your blasting at. They are meant to be applied to the window and they take the beating instead of the glass. These are just like the little plastic sheets you put on the touchscreen of your cell phone. Peel-off window films protect the sandblasting cabinet window. This can happen to the point of not being able to see through the window at all. If you do nothing to protect it, the window will slowly be etched by your media bouncing back and hitting the glass. Your blast cabinet comes with a tempered glass window for safety reasons. There are different versions of the gun and nozzles available for different air compressors:ġ0-15 CFM S-35 Medium Medium Ceramic / Medium Carbide
SKAT BLAST DUST COLLECTOR UPGRADE
Skat Blast sandblasting guns are a great upgrade as they are more powerful, faster, and more comfortable than the guns that come with a cheap cabinet. This is not 100% necessary but if you want an efficient sandblasting cabinet, a better sandblasting gun can make a world of difference. Upgrade the Sandblasting Gun in the Cabinet This should be done before you have added any blasting media to the cabinet, otherwise, you must thoroughly clean the cabinet for the caulk to seal correctly.
SKAT BLAST DUST COLLECTOR FREE
I highly recommend Silicone free caulk to seal up all of the inside seams and through bolts in your cabinet. If there is even a minor leak in the cabinet, you will notice that every surface of the garage will be covered with dust after awhile. The first thing I did after assembly was to caulk all of the seams of the cabinet to make sure no sandblasting dust can escape the cabinet. So of course, it is going to need a little tweaking. Unless you buy a larger cabinet that comes with great lighting, built-in dust collection, and is perfectly air tight out of the box, then you will need to do some modifications to your cabinet to make it more efficient.įirst, the cabinet I mentioned above is about the cheapest floor-standing cabinet available that closely matches the dimensions of a household oven. This is the point where you may want to spend the money on a larger, higher quality blast cabinet or hire-out your blasting. An exception to this is that while most wheels will fit into the cabinet like the one mentioned above, if you want to turn the wheel over, it has to come out of the cabinet, be flipped around, and go back in. As long as you don't get to claustrophobic, you don't necessarily need a gigantic blasting cabinet. The unit comes with a cloth wrap for the large cartridge filter and to protect the motor.Cheap sandblasting cabinets are great for DIY coaters because the internal dimensions pretty closely match the size of a household oven. Additionally, this adds flexibility to the overall footprint of your work environment. Therefore, physical placement of the unit is more convenient.
The DC-4000 also comes with a six foot hose to connect directly to the cabinet.
The construction is polyethylene making it extremely durable. This dust collector has a powerful 400 CFM (cubic feet per minute) of airflow. Cyclone DC4000 400 DFM Sandblasting Cabinet Dust Collector
