>Todd,

If you would prefer to maintain the illusion that 'needs' have much to do with our acquisitions, I'll play along. But 'a bigger one than I want"? I thought that concept only applied to cell phones and other critical appendages. ;-)

Benchtop blaster

>I have a benchtop cabinet model I got from the Snap-on man used(he owed me a favor).It loads from the top and except for the compressor is self contained(has it`s own light,DC blower,etc.All in it`s own housing).I bought it when I was building Harleys and it`s sized so a primary cover will fit in it,that being the largest casting on a HD.

As luck would have it,a #8 will fit comfortably into it too.I`m sure you could score a comparable unit on E-bay for probably alot less than I paid for my rig.The whole thing stores under the old metal desk I use for a metalworking table when not in use.Sure is a handy item for all sorts of things.Wish I had a digital camera that worked so I could think about posting a pic.I`ll bet it`s just the ticket for what you had in mind ToddO.(now if you`d just move back to the homeland you could borrow mine!)

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, yeah, I see your point Clay, that is kind of oxy-moronish sentence isn't it. Ahhhhhhhh well, just consider the source ;~)

Got to thinking today(when I didn't even know I was thinking) and came up with this brilliant idea. Why not build a monster cabinet out of plywood that has slides in it that can be installed/removed to make the working space smaller/larger as the piece being blasted requires. Make it big enough to hold say a '57 Chevy fender, that a' way if'n I wanted to 'blast something bigger than planes in the future all I'd have to do is remove a few slides and presto-bango have at it. Sound like a good idea? Pros? Cons?

What is the DC blower for? I have never used a sandblaster - just wondering.

>If you didn`t have some type of blower system in that small a cabinet you wouldn`t be able to see what you`re working on for very long.The DC system also draws off the spent blasting media so the work goes faster
