Yoshi823:
I also have a sand blasting cabinet that I bought from Machinemart. I have done most of the CB125T bits & pieces, &, as Peter has said, it's a very useful bit of kit.

pauliexjr:
Am I right in thinking you need a compressor to run one? In which case I'll be sticking to Nitromores and wet'n'dry for the forseeable future or it will be the divorce court for me! :D

Spitfire:
Ok I'm getting convinced, then again I do like shiny stuff, but what blasting medium do you use ?

Den

UK Pete:
I use silicon sand, its perfect finish is almost fine enough to polish afterwards, i have tried the aluminium oxides of different grades but prefer the sand which is cheap , just use kiln dried block paving sand, but i wear a proper mask as its bad to be getting any of the dust in your lungs, and yes you do need a compressor the bigger the better, infact its not worth using a small one
