FAQs
What type of air compressor is required?
You need an air compressor capable of delivering consistent airflow at a pressure suitable for the nozzle diameter provided.
Can I use sand in this cabinet?
While many types of abrasive media are compatible, it is recommended to use specialized blasting media like glass beads or aluminum oxide for better performance and safety.
How do I clean the internal window?
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe dust from the inside, or use the provided protective film overlays if applicable.
Is the cabinet waterproof?
The cabinet is dust-tight for dry blasting media, but it is not designed to be used with water or liquid-based cleaning solutions.
Can the gloves be replaced?
Yes, the gloves are wear items and can be replaced once they lose their integrity or develop holes.
Troubleshooting
Low blasting pressure
Check your air compressor settings and ensure the intake hose is not kinked or restricted.
Media clogging the nozzle
Ensure the abrasive media is dry and free of clumps; check that the media feed tube is not blocked.
Excessive dust clouding the window
Check the dust extraction vent and ensure the filter is clean or replace it if necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Cons
- Requires a separate air compressor with sufficient CFM

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup begins by placing the unit on a sturdy, level workbench capable of supporting its weight. Connect your air compressor via the rear intake fitting, ensuring all connections are tightened to prevent air leaks. Use a moisture trap or filter on your air line to keep the abrasive media dry, as moisture will cause clogging. To maintain the cabinet, periodically empty the media reservoir, clear the internal viewing window of dust build-up, and inspect the gloves for any signs of wear or punctures to maintain the integrity of the enclosure.
