Anybody near Jeannette, PA have a blasting cabinet?

....that they wouldn't mind letting me use Saturday morning to clean up my roller fairlead so I can refinish it? It's rusted all to hell.

[trailblaze]

nope... but you could use a wire wheel on a drill or angle grinder.... if you needed to.

[skeebs]

No doubt I can go about it that way, I just figured it'd be a lot easier to blast than to wire wheel.

Really? Is it one of those pay to rent then get your money back upon return deals? I never would have thought to be able to rent a blasting cabinet. I'll have to make some calls this evening.

i know i rented a cabinet from home depot about 2 years ago, not sure about now. But if all else fails use a regular sandblaster and you could make a cabinet out of a plastic tote line with duct tape.

You could send it to me and I could blast and Powder Coat it for you.

I can't afford it. Unless you're telling me you'll do it for free.

FWIW, I have a blast cabinet (smaller, maybe 14x20?, top loader, harbor freight type) that I'm looking to get rid of. Has a steel stand with it too.

It might have an hours use on it? I bought it, some stuff fit, most of the other stuff didn't. PM me with an offer if you want it.

[skeebs]

I'll pass on that LordAthens, but I do appreciate the offer. I can't justify buying a cabinet for as little as I'll use it.

there is a place on 66 called bolens tools that sells generic blasting cabinets. it might cost you more but you can use it for other stuff.

[skeebs]

Thanks RalphDogg, good info to know for a local supplier. Do they deal with tools in general or just blasting equipment? Although, as I stated previously I can not justify buying a cabinet at this time when I'm only going to be cleaning this little bit. I know in the future I may need to do more blasting on small articles more, but I'll deal with that when the time comes.
So, I'll keep options open if anyone tells me they have a cabinet I can come over and use. I'm not looking to mooch, I'll figure out a way to pay you back or do you a solid if you have a cabiinet I can use.

Keep in mind I don't want to buy anything at this time I'm broke as a joke and saving my money for a few drinks at the Red Star at the end of the month.

I saw one in the For Sale Section
On here or 4wd.com...
Sandblasting with a cheap set up sucks,
Go somewhere with a nice set up.
