There are maybe three dozen videos on how to improve a cabinet like this, and I've watched most of them. I think this one is the best.

Thank you John, you just made my day. And I'm proud to say it is still working flawlessly.

I agree. Very good . I have just bought a new cabinet. I made my own years ago and the pickup was always clogging up. Some video's shows using a dust deputy? Is it not necessary on yours? I can see you really are precise in your work and tidy. I really like the lift up lid. My homebuilt one had that. Do your led lights get etched at all?

@freeidaho-videos 26 дней назад

Just bought this same cabinet. Unfortunately we get ripped off in Australia, $500.00 delivered to my door. Used for 2 hours so far. Glass bead all over the place. Leaks like a siv. Going to do your mods with the pvc for the media. Also the lighting and also the vacuum filtering etc. I'm short so don't need more height. Wheels would be handy for moving etc. Thanks for all your great ideas.

@phillipvansickle4220 2 года назад

I'm going to pick up one of those bucket vacs. I'm also going copy your top opening modification too. I run my cabinet at 120 PSI using an 80 gallon 7.5HP compressor on a copper piping system. I use an S-35 gun with a carbide nozzle from TP tools. I can blast all day long continuously. Over the years, I've found that a minimum of a 220V 3 HP compressor with a 60-80 gallon tank is needed for decent performance... 5-7.5 HP is even nicer.

@freeidaho-videos 2 года назад

Thank you! I have a better compressor on my wish list.

@cld2872 Год назад

Can you make a list of all the parts that are needed especially the PVC pipe parts

@itsjustme.2331 2 года назад

Well, I think you did a real good job with the vacuum system and I am going to steal that idea from you, I ordered a blast cabinet from Jegs because it is a top opening cabinet and I'll have to do almost everything to it that you did less the top. I love the metering valve out of PVC, I think I'll change it a bit but very little.

@daubendiek Год назад

You will notice that you get media piled up on the ledge under the door at the front of the cabinet and this drops out when you open the door. To cure this drill 3 or 4 1/4" holes next to each other where the media piles up

@AmeriFanPicker 7 месяцев назад

So the air coming in….it’s just ambient air coming in the back through that little round door? And getting pulled out via the vac?

@freeidaho-videos 7 месяцев назад

Xactly! That keeps the dust down in the cabinet so one can see the action. Without it, it only takes 20 seconds before you can't even see the work piece.

@AmeriFanPicker 7 месяцев назад

@@freeidaho-videos and you know as far as compressor, I only have a 25 gallon compressor. Its maybe from the 90s but it’s a great compressor. It’s a seers craftsman “professional” two-stage oil less. I’m not sure of the CFM I think it’s 6.4 but then it says something 5.1 SCFM. Anyhow, the harbor freight cabinet looks like it’s 9.5 CSM at 90. Why does the cabinet matter? Is it a matter of the gun and the hose used? Couldn’t one downsize the size of the hose to use a smaller rated compressor?

@WilliamFarr-xk6vy 2 месяца назад

Hi could you show how your vacuum is hooked up to your cabinet please!

@freeidaho-videos 2 месяца назад

Of course. See 0:44 in the video. There is a PVC pipe leading from the cabinet to the white 5-gallon bucket debris trap. See 8:50 in the video. This is air inlet to the PVC pipe leading from the cabinet to the white 5-gallon bucket debris trap. See 21:46 in the video. The bucket vacuum is attached to the orange bucket. The bucket-vacuum hose goes into the top of the white 5-gallon bucket. Thus the air from the cabinet leaves the cabinet and first goes into the white 5-gallon bucket debris trap, where any paint, rust, or dust is trapped in the debris bucket. The air is then cleaner and goes into the vacuum.

Hi could you tell me where you bought the fan for the sand vibrator!!!

@montiraruba2831 2 месяца назад

could you explain the two buckets on the bottom shelf and how they work?

@freeidaho-videos 2 месяца назад

The white bucket is a water filter. The second bucket is a vacuum, made specifically to fit on the top of a bucket.

@davidsaylor3744 Год назад

What kind of latch do you use for the top to hold it down

@freeidaho-videos Год назад

No latch needed. With the flat bar, the lid is heavier than standard, and I have a vacuum hooked to the cabinet, so there is negative pressure (vacuum), holding the lid down when in use.

@timtemplin5387 3 месяца назад

Did you do anything to the bucket that comes off the tank....where did you get the vac

@freeidaho-videos 3 месяца назад

Tim, the only thing added to the bucket that collects debris is the water in the bottom, and the air flow control pieces in the top of the bucket. The "bucket vacuum" was ordered from Home Depot and was shipped out of Canada. But that was two years ago, so I have no idea if it is still available. But bucket vacuums still seem to turn up for sale on internet searches from Home Depot, Walmart, and Amazon.
