tell ya what mate i borrowed my mates cabinet he bought from machine mart, http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/produ ... t-cabinets

it was brilliant!

just one tip. keep the sand dry at all times cos if it gets damp it blocks the gun.

if your gonna use a sand blasting gun bung up your ears nose and every other orifice cause it gets everywhere

I used the clarke shot blast kit from Machine Mart with the medium grit and used on a set of steels. The medium grit was a bit U/S go for the rougher more abrasive stuff.

 

You do need a compressor for this though.
