Got me a new 6' long blast cabinet and this thing is sweet. Great for dash frames, rear axle housings and long stuff like that.  Upgraded the lighting to LED. Made a huge difference. You can see in the pics what it looks like with the factory flood lights compared to the LED's. I installed (6) 33" LED's.  Going to convert my old Snap On cabinet to plastic media and of course upgrade the lighting.

Damn nice blasting cabinet, no more long parts hanging out with a trash bag taped to the end.

WOW, that is impressive.  Wish I had one like that.  Pretty cool!  Thanks for sharing some cool photos.

Very nice! Those lights sure brighten it up. I generally turn off the shop lights and close all doors so I can see inside the blast cabinet.

Nice cabinet and nice lights! May I ask where and how much the LED lights were, as I think I should do that to mine also.   :cheers:

I got them from TP Tools. 33" lights are $50 and they have 46" for $60. They have a magnetic base so install is super easy. Quality is very good.

Yea I have one of those that came from that very place. It's sitting behind the cabinet. Getting ready to order another and LED's for my old cabinet.

I actually ended up doing a big upgrade on my old Snap On cabinet.  Bigger window and glove openings. New LED lighting and installed the same Skat vacuum system. Man what a improvement. This thing always sucked with poor lighting and a little window.  I decided to have it for more delicate blasting of plated parts and stuff like that using plastic media.
