Sand Blasting Cabinet

The outside corner of the finished cabinet

Information
Owner Jwoodjr
Version 1.0
Status In Progress
Started On December 2009
Cost $225


Overview

This was created due to a need for a sand blasting cabinet for a very cheap expense. Followed an idea posted on Instructables.com and implemented some modifications for my purpose. I installed a filtered outlet port as well as mounted a regulator/filter on the outside. There is a feed line for the air and a feed line for the actual blasting media of choice. So far I've worked with aluminum oxide and pla-sand. My initial desires are to use this in conjunction with a vinyl cutter to develop designs, place on glass then sand blast the negative space to etch the design into the glass.
