I have this cabinet, it works fine. The new one (as pictured) has a better
seal around the glass than mine does. Mine leaks a bit
of media around the door, unless the door is improved, yours will too. I think
a light was optional, I recommend a light. You will
need a dryer on your air compressor. One 5 hp compressor is barely adequate.
I have two 5 hp compressors, when I blast I use both.
Harbor Freight prices vary greatly. When I bought mine about 1.5 years ago, I
could have paid any one of three prices, I paid
$69.00.
The following URL is what looks to be the same cabinet with the old style
window. If you don't mind a little media leakage, or what
to spend the time to seal it better you might consider it.
