The blast cabinet is very useful in cleaning and prepping materials for painting and welding. The beads will wear down the material to bare metal. You can also use the cabinet to bead blast acrylic with a stencil to make frosted looking designs. There are many types of media that can be run in a blast cabinet. With the proper media people create designs in stone and wood.  We currently are using glass beads which tend to be less aggressive.   

The blast cabinet is very useful for cleaning and prepping materials for painting and welding. The blast cabinet has a working area of 28" x 40" and contains tiny glass bead media in the bottom section. There is a large wire mesh that divides the upper and lower sections of the cabinet. The air passing through the nozzle creates a vacuum and draws the glass beads from the bottom of the machine up into the air stream in the nozzle.  The machine requires 80-125 psi shop air. Glass beads are rapidly accelerated into the part you are bead blasting. The beads fall back into the bottom of the cabinet and are recycled through the system.
