Sand blasting cabinet dust collector
Description
Details Here: Https://Imgur.Com/Gallery/V3V6D/ Summary From The Imgur Post: Finished Picture First. This Is My Sand Blasting Cabinet. It'S A Harbor Freight Special, With A Long List Of Upgrades. The Latest Upgrade Is A Little Better Dust Collection System. The Original Harbor Freight Design Had The Vacuum On The Left Side Of The Cabinet, And There Is A Hole On The Back, In The Top Right Corner. Air Flowed From Right To Left, Taking The Dust With It. The Problem Is That The Gun For The Sand Blaster Shoots Into The Left Side (Because I'M Right Handed). This Resulted In A Pretty Good Portion Of Blasting Media Being Sucked Up By The Vacuum, And Wasted. I Fixed This Problem In 2 Ways, This Post Details How. First, I Reversed The Direction Of Air Flow. Now I'M Sucking Air Out Of The Back Of The Cabinet, In The Top Right Corner. Second, I Added A Dust Deputy. This Is A Cyclone Style Dust Separator, Which Drops The Dust Down Into The White Bucket. This Way, I Can Just Empty The Bucket Back Into The Blasting Cabinet In Case It Does Still Suck Up Some Media. I Used An Inexpensive Vacuum Cleaner. It Will Be Dedicated To This Job, And If It Doesn'T End Up Being Big Enough, I Can Always Buy Something Bigger, And Use This Around The Shop. In Order To Get Everything To Attach To Each Other, I 3D Printed Several Parts.
