Blasting cabinet mods.

[th62]

I just used mild steel for my blasting nozzles, they probably won't last too long, but its not as if they are difficult to make. I do have some other mods in mind aside from vapor. A new section for the front of the gun to take the ceramic nozzles and make the media lead in at a better angle. Due to the trigger position though, it will probably have to go slightly to the side. I have noticed the media tends to pile in one corner, so I will be making an angular floor to fit inside the existing one.

I had thought of making a new gun, that would have entailed using a foot trigger, I prefer the trigger on the gun, so that idea went in the bin. Another benefit from converting to vapor is the media is contained in a seperate container, so a lot easier to switch from one type media to another.

Some time ago, I attached an old vacuum hose to the side of the cabinet to improve breathing, that hose is about 6-7'- high and leads up to the ceiling. The foam filters that came standard with the cabinet are just plain silly. As the lid leaked so much media I have no idea if this mod actually works, but now I've fixed the lid, I'll find out I guess.
