My really cheep, I mean inexpensive, blast cabinet

[mighty13d]

actually there is a lot of air that passes through the sleeves that I'm using. it's enough to keep a mild suction but just barely. I also do wear gloves in the booth, I wear Nitrile ones with leather ones over them if I'm blasting something small. It doesn't keep my arms clean because the dust can settle through the sleeves.

remember to use a normal drill bit through the lexan... do not use Dewalt bits like this:

because where these bits flatten out will catch and break the lexan... Check out my pics if you want to know how I know lol.

Psst... I did read that too, brain fart. My thinking is, with a port in the cabinet, you will be able to utilize all the vacume and have air movment through the cabinet. Your idea would work equally as well, not tryin to offend or slam the idea.

No worries ... I didn't take it that way. Personally I'd do it your way, for exactly the reason you mentioned (full use of the vacuum).

I have a piece of plexi that is about 3'X4' I plan on using to build a cabinet big enough to put a frame in if I need to. I have a set of stock 350Z wheels I plan on blasting and polishing up to sell to help fund an engine build I need to get to work on.
