I borrowed a friend's Harbor Freight cheapo cabinet. It didn't seal very
well was my only real complaint. Otherwise, it did the job. I think he
paid $70 or so for it. It might be just a little too small for a rim.
But it was useful in cleaning up my clutch-pedal tower and other assorted
rusty/painted bits. My compressor ran almost constantly and could barely
keep up. I have a 6.5 HP Craftsman (DeVilbiss?) 33 gallon. I'd let it sit
and cool for a bit and regain some efficiency (and give myself a break). If
I were to do it again, I'd buy a bigger compressor for sandblasting. But
the little cabinet is nice to have to clean up parts quickly. Also, after
using it a while, as someone else mentioned, there would be water spitting
out along with the sand. make sure you remove that.

Subject: LRO: small sandblasting cabinet
Does anyone have any experience with small sandblasting cabinets? I was
thinking about getting one for this (and future) projects. Probably would
want something large enough to blast a 16" wheel. And how big of a
compressor does one typically need or are there self contained units out
there?
