-----Martin, i have a Tips unit(Hemmings), it is not a small unit
it is 28 D X 42 W X 32 H. but you will find a wheel very cramped in this
cabinet. I use only glass beads except on plastic or chrome/brass, rubber
then i use walnut shells, i have never used plastic media. glass is very
good & rather inexpensive $22.00 for 50lbs. i think the small unit from
sears will not handle wheels or any thing larger. don't buy to small &
then regret it later. these are so usfull!!!!
