| If
your budget is very limited and you still want to get started etching
as quickly as you can and at as low a cost as possible, this just
might be for you. It is a nearly full size, stand-up cabinet with
most of the features of the larger cabinets.
Good size for
gifts and awards and accepts glass panels as large as 24" X
32". Easy
to use with illustrated instructions. Pour abrasive into cabinet
hopper through side loading door. Place hands in gloves, and just
pull the trigger.Comes assembled
except for installation of bolts to attach the hopper and legs.
The hopper is 18" deep with a spring loaded trap door for easy
cleanout. Low
cost shipping by UPS. Comes in two cartons and weighs 90 lbs.
We do
consider this a starter cabinet or a hobbyist cabinet because it
is made of lighter weight materials than our other cabinets. Also
the included siphon blaster is not nearly as fast at blasting as
a dedicated pressure blaster. If you start out with this cabinet,
one of the first things you will want to do as your usage increases
will be to get a pressure blaster to use with the cabinet. On the
other hand, if your only use will be to surface etch designs on
beveled glass gift items and such, this cabinet and siphon blaster
will do fine.
Features:
Comes complete with attached gloves, full
size viewing window, full size side door, small interior spotlight,
and includes a siphon blaster with 3 extra nozzles and an air jet.
Used with this siphon blaster, abrasive automatically recycles through
the cabinet via the pickup tube in the hopper. All you have to supply
is a vacuum & compressor, though we recommend an optional magnetic
base light for illumination across the full interior of this cabinet.

*Please note: You can substitute 120 grit (300111) silicon carbide for faster cutting, but you get a coarser finish. Substitute 180 grit (300110) for even finer finish on architectural glass and tiny detail on awards (but slightly slower cutting). A grit size of 220 (300156) would be used exclusively for the fine detail on awards and gifts or for etching photos. The 180 and 220 grits are slightly more expensive. Check our abrasives page for more info.
