    I have a TIP cabinet similar to this one that has served me pretty well for over 30 yrs...

    MADE in USA - FULLY ASSEMBLED! 46" WIDE, 28" deep, 28" high work area - our most popular width cabinet for auto parts! Our Skat Cat Series Blast Cabinets remove rust, paint, and scale FAST! They are always ready. Leave the cabinet hooked up to your air supply, so it is ready for operation at a moment's notice (no air or abrasive is used until you need it). Clean oil pans, fuel pumps, wheels, carburetors, cylinder heads, nuts, bolts, springs, pistons, valve covers, hinges, a-arms, headlights, grilles, air cleaners, trim pieces, manifolds, interior and under-the-hood parts – the list is endless ... the results are amazing! Big work area accommodates most auto or truck components. Can also etch glass or blast designs in wood! Easy to Use: Just insert rusty or painted parts and place on work screen. Close door, pick up part with one hand, and aim USA-Made S-35 Trigger Gun. Each time trigger power gun is activated, rust, paint, and corrosion are removed FAST, leaving a beautiful satin finish on your part ready for painting or other final prep. Abrasive drops to funnel bottom where it is automatically recycled into pickup tube and up to S-35 Trigger Gun. Skat Cat Models include vacuum which provides excellent visibility. There is NO DUST OR MESS. You always have a clean shop, as blast is confined inside cabinet. 3-5 HP air compressor required (10-15 cfm air @ 80 psi). SC-46 SKAT BLAST® Cabinet Includes: Powerful Vac-55 HEPA Vacuum to remove dust as you blast High-Velocity S-35 Trigger-Operated Power Gun 3 steel nozzles 7 ft air hose from gun to your air supply 28" long double-strength cabinet gloves Tempered glass lens, 12" x 24" x 3/16" with peel-off inner lens protector Molded glove and lens trim - prevents leaks 45 lbs fast-cutting Skat Magic Abrasive Automatic abrasive recycling system Right-hand side-loading door, full-size 11 gauge steel with welded angle-iron framework Strong 11-20 gauge USA steel construction Expanded metal screen holds objects up to 200 lbs Adjustable 115 volt LED floodlight with on/off switch Quick-change trap door for fast abrasive changes Replacement parts IN STOCK!

    I've always ran glass bead in it. I have a TIP99'er sandblasting system for sandblasting larger objects outside, also used for more than 30 yrs.

      I also have a TIP cabinet that I've had for over 20 years, and only use glass beads in it. One thing I like about TIP is they still maintain parts for the cabinet and gun after all these years.

        Most important thing is having plenty of DRY compressed air. I just have a small HF cabinet using quality glass beads, but I use an 80 gallon 2-stage with a refrigerated air dryer, and it works great.
