All:

What is your recommendation when purchasing a blast cabinet? There are literally wars going on out there between manufacturers regarding what is better, a high-density plastic cabinet or a metal one...I'm in the market for one (my uncle's shop is almost always too busy!) and want to get the best bang for my buck! All suggestions welcome!

Here's my rambling story on the subject - two pages worth along with the email responses of others.

Since I got the blast cabinet, it's all I use - the pressurized sand pot sits in stand-by. I'd have to say that the bead cabinet is one of the most used "tools" in the shop.

Tom, I got a Skat Blast 960 from TIP Tools last fall and just love it! Best blast cabinet I ever used.

Cheers! NICK
