I know this was meant in jest, but I feel duty bound to tell folks that this is a bad idea. Using actual sand for sandblasting is exceedingly dangerous for your lungs, and can result in silicosis which is a horrible and painful way to die.andrew wrote:Finally ordered my cabinet.

Kurt, you shouldn't be blasting anything into your lungs. Sand, glass bead...it's really bad to wrap your lips around your blaster.KurtHuhn wrote:I know this was meant in jest, but I feel duty bound to tell folks that this is a bad idea.

I just got the e100 cyclone. I couldn't justify anything larger with my brain, my ego on the other hand saw a trinco that was beautiful. I left the trinco alone for now.The Smoking Yeti wrote:What unit did you get?
Man....don't let those "reputable suppliers" trick you like that. It is just another lie corporate America is force feeding us! Fight the man, use play sand!andrew wrote:I just got the e100 cyclone.

And yes Kurt, the sand in my kid's sandbox is safe, it would be a shame to blast a pipe with sand desicrated by the local feline population. The dying part would suck too.
Just so everyone knows:
REAL SAND - BAD
BLASTING MEDIA BOUGHT FROM A REPUTABLE SUPPLIER - GOOD
