blast cabinet or stand alone blaster?

[Baldrick]

hi, i spray motorcycles and parts mostly, and am fed up with using paint stripper to get back to metal for tanks etc. it takes forever and paint stripper is getting expensive.

im looking at getting a blaster, and have been looking at both the blast cabinets and the stand alone pots.
ideally id like to use soda for most aluminium parts and glass for metal.
Im put off the cabinets as i would be doing engines and wheels, the odd frame maybe, but realise that most parts are smaller and would fit in the cab. im also aware that i could buy a pot one and build a cabinet to suit, but its more work/time etc.

ive got a 3hp compressor with 14 cfm so im hoping that it will be fine for running these.
ive no experience of using either so which would you recommend. And any model recommendations would be appreciated.

Bear in mind im on a 500 quid budget

thanks

I'm selling a Guyson Super 7 https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/guyson-super-7-sandblasting-cabinet.117986/ . It is big. My plan was to run a little blast pot that I bought with a smaller gun/nozzle, I'll throw them in for £500. This is a industrial unit so doesn't compare to the cheapo Chinese ones. This is the current model and assume it's the same size:

Internal blast chamber (mm) width​	1480​
Internal blast chamber (mm) depth​	900​
Internal blast chamber (mm) height​	880​
Overall cabinet height (mm)​	1825​
Side door aperture W x H (mm)​	700 x 535​
Front/top door aperture W x H (mm)​	1450 x 890​
Max floor loading (kg)​	150​
Fixed position turntable diametre (mm)​	750​
Max turntable load (kg)​	150​
Side loading turntable option​	Yes​

Is it possible to have a go with someone else's kit before you commit to anything?
