arm holes are way to small

 

What are you on about arm holes are way too small, don't you think I would have tested this beforehand? 

 

 

Lighten up mate, it's almost easter.

 

 

I'm glad you edited your comments. And folks give him a chance to do the build.

 

 

Couldn't be bothered with the hassle 

 

Will hopefully have all my wheels blasted next week. If my arms fit in

You're doing a great job, just ignore comments and do it your way, its your project. I made my cabinet albeit out of steel, but basicly the same as yours, works fine. What do you use in yours, I have glass bead in mine. Oh and an elcheapo barrel vac works a treat for getting dust out, I have out let at rear/top and inlet lbs front, it sort of creates draught across work area to help keep glass clear. Keep up the good work.

Thankyou :) currently using recycled glass grit, 0.7mm - 1.4mm, a lot better than the fine stuff I was previously using. I think i'm going to give glass bear a test though. Yes, that's all I really need, just something to get the dust out the way, I was worried it would suck up a lot of flying grit though, but i suppose up the top it should be okay, and i'll probably put a fine mesh over the outlet.

What compressor are you going to use Ross?? If not already bought get a decent water and oil trap otherwise you will get clumping. That's the biggest issue my brother in law has with his works blasting cabinet. (his boss is too tight to install a decent water trap)

150 litre 3.5hp 17cfm and recently bought a water trap with regulator for spraying, so it'll be on the compressor all the time anyway, so should give me no problems

Put a baffle cover over outlet that stops 90% of the grit getting out and the water trap close to cabinet to stop condensation in hose getting in.
Bit hard to explain but if you get something like an old pie dish, cut section out of side and screw on as cover over outlet. Does that make sense?

Perhaps you could make whole front so it lifts up on a hinge at the top ?

 

 Good work anyway , best of luck with it .

time of the month or something??

 

it's an observation that's all, nothing to do with the size of your arms but they will limit movement within the cabinet.
