It mostly just sits in the corner now and only gets used when I'm desperate and looking for some self inflicted punishment.
I got my blasting cabinet at Greg smith but it looks ldentical to the HF one. You are right the original light and tube/ gun sucked. I upgraded the tube/gun with a set from TP tools and it works a lot better now. I pulled the light out and fabbed me up some led modules to illuminate the entire cabinet. Still a long way from perfect but works most days. I think the gun upgrade was around 80-100 bucks.

I have a 300lb pot and access to a 185 cfm diesel compressor I just hate getting it set up for smaller stuff that wont quite fit in the cabinet

Most women like the strong, silent type… Fortunately for me, my wife prefers the out-of-shape, mouthy type.
