I am after a grit blasting cabinet local to north lincolnshire or willing to post.
Thanks Matty

DIY is the way to go.
Old washing machine, couple of rubber mats as liners, cut a window, sheet of perspex, two rubber gauntlets, gun kit off ebay, bulkhead light and a connection for a hoover.

Yeah diy it. There's loads of plans on t'interweb for them. Anything from old oil drums fridges etc. I'm contemplating using an old fibreglass bath on the grounds that bigger has got to be better. General consensus appears to be that a reasonable output compressor is required though.

Plans here:

I knocked up a 700mm Cube, sealed the lid with draught excluder.
I put in a 1.5" pipe for air extraction, with a chunk of foam on the inside. Then I fed the exit pipe into an old hoover that had micro filters. This ensures I dont have to fill the workshop (or my lungs) with nasty abrasive dust.
Its the last thing you want to fill your nice healthy lungs with, and end up with sillicosis (miners lung disease)

You can buy stick on / tear off clear windows to stick on the inside of the perspex window so you dont end up with a cloudy window!. I got mine from Machine Mart SPARES dept.... NOT the main shop who sell the cabinets.

Hope this is useful.
