    Just an idea for the heavy stuff. I put a plastic I put a round plastic lazy Susan turn table thing in mine when I blasted a bench vise for a friend. Works great for the heavy stuff like that and just blast and spin.

    I wanna thank you for this idea! The plastic film was always falling off the glass and I could never stick it on right. So yesterday, I went to my local Ace and picked up all the hardware and glass. What a difference it makes in maintenance and visibility! We'll see how it works out. Thanks again, Mike 🙂

    Without the replaceable plastic film covering the glass on the inside, the blast medium will destroy the glass surface, so you have gained nothing and now will have to replace the glass window, which is more expensive.

    I agree with you on the 10mm, I have bought plenty of 10mm sockets and wrenches but if I need one I cannot find it if I do not need them I will trip over them.....

    I had a thought that a person might pipe the intake air to flow across the glass to keep particles from striking. It might be worthwhile to experiment with that. All it would cost would be some PVC pipe and glue. I put an in-line air spray nozzle with my gun to knock off the grit off and into the bottom before I open the door. It was cheap Amazon less than 10. The button is right under the trigger. Works well and super handy.

    Without the clear film on the inside of the cabinet, the glass will get pitted very soon. I am speaking from experience with my Skat-Blast cabinet.

    I find when you notice things disappearing, killing the internet and making an announcement at dinner that you are having an amnesty, no questions asked tool return day will even bring back the dog you thought ran away.

    I wonder how long before the glass gets foggy? How much longer does of last than the stick on protectors?

    Dave did you ever remove that robot siphon tube and put the mod on the bottom of the cabinet dump door? I did that one first and man did it bring that old cabinet to life. $40 at ACE. Screw the T fitting with drain plug. Just go 1” 90 def male to F elbow and drill the hole just big enough for 3 threads to poke through the dump door and then use a 1” electrical box threaded cap to hold it in. The rest is cake. Plus no more stupid siphon tube taking up all that riom

    Hi Watson, I have the same gremlins. I put a spanner down in front of me and when I go to get it it is gone. My friend stays about 6 miles away and he has the same problem? the spanner is right in front of you and you can not see it. what causes that?. I said old age as we are around 75 yrs plus. So yes I did buy a few more spaners eg 10mm and some more screwdrivers eg cross heads as they just seem to disapear. take care . I will just watch your mods, I have the same cabinet... bye.

    3/16” clear annealed glass helped me to keep it from breaking when you tap it with a part or the gun…tempered glass is a waste of $ it will etch just like annealed glass in the same amount of time with sand overspray. I use clear contact paper and change it once it’s foggy
