Building Sandblast Box and spray Booth

[FiReBReTHa]

Any tips from here?





I am obviously not done, I am going to put a hole in the bottom of the sand side and run a pipe down into a collection barrel, and then another barrel next to it for source and run the suction line up from a bottom hole in the box to the sand gun.

Also need to make the legs for it.

just buy a blast cabinet bro. save u a headache! make your spray booth large enough to accomodate your oven & so that you can rotate your parts easily enough.

I actually was going to buy a blast cabinet but it was going to be about 160$ shipped (best price I could find) and it used a gun that required a higher SCFM than I had.

That one I built right there is actually only 80$ and uses the Exact gun to match my system.


sounds good, I will use L brackets to mount the oven rack in there and hang the parts.

I would be worried about dust from the blasting cabinet getting on my parts I was spraying right next to it.

Be sure to seal both the blast cabinet and the spraybooth really well so you don't have any contamination.

If your sand blaster is being setup with the suction type of sand flow, you will learn to hate it, unless your only doing mostly clean unrusted parts. When you get sick of messing with the suction sand blasting, let me know and I'll point you toward a much better system, made for DIY'rs.

damn, good for the heads up,


It was tricky because I was looking for a gun with specific SCFM, I have a tank that puts out 9.6 on average so I found that husky that nly needed 9.0.

thankfully I am only going to be doing motorcycle parts. Pegs and rearsets and levers.

Are those legs made of particle board? You might want to brace them with some diagonals. The box will get pretty heavy with 50 pounds of media and heavy parts. Looks good. I think the dual box is a pretty cool design. Whether it's media dust or powder, the whole thing will be pretty messy anyway, so if you vacuum the spray booth and let the dust settle before shooting, I bet it will be fine.
