Blasting cabinet recommendation

[mkriegs]

I'm getting sick of my current $100 harbor freight blasting cabinet, it never seems to completely remove the grain in the metal, the flow is really inconsistent, it scratches my parts, and it clogs a lot.

Can anyone recommend a blasting cabinet in the $300 range that wouldn't have those problems?

No recommendations on a particular cabinet but after using different kinds for years, the better cabinets use a foot feed air valve. They all clog, some more than others depending on media and humidity. I don't know if you can find a good one for $300. If your cabinet size works for you now,an alternative would be to invest in a higher grade gun for the unit.Most of the good cabinets are $800 up and come with a dust vacuum. Good luck on your search.

Yeah, I kind of noticed that, I only see blasting cabinets for <$200 or >$800 and there seems to be basically nothing inbetween those two prices.

Thanks,

I had the same problem I just invested in a gun that my friend had gotten for his 1.3k cabinet
