The 960-DLX DELUXE Skat Blast Cabinet has become one of "America's Favorites". TWO 90 watt floodlights and big 12" x 33" window for improved, brighter visibility when blasting. Plus, Skat Blast's C-35-M Foot-Pedal-Operated Power Gun and pickup tube system for a more powerful, even blast. Quiet Vac-50 HEPA Vacuum with HEPA Filtration collects 99.97% dust particles down to 0.3 microns.

The current Ace of the Blast Cabinet is Levi Gibson (lgibson19@georgefox.edu).

  6. Locate the power switch and turn on the sandblaster
  7. Insert your arms into the gloves and position yourself to have a clear view into the cabinet
  8. Picking up the parts and gun, manually aim where the stencil doesn't cover the acrylic
  9. Position your foot in the foot pedal mechanism. Once pedal is depressed sand will blast out of the gun
  10. When finished, turn the machine off
