With our [[Big_Powder_Coating_Oven bigger capability to powder coat]], one item that has been on its last legs (literally) for awhile is our poor suffering Harbor Freight blasting cabinet. The blasting cabinet is a critical component of powder coating in that it prepares the surface to handle the powder and skipping it makes for terrible results (ask how I know). Powder coating is just one reason to use the blasting cabinet; at its heart is a tool for removing rust, paint, and pretty much anything you want to remove from your work.

Thanks to the efforts of several members we have been able to keep the existing machine going and even enhance it; the light Mike Skilton added illuminates inside much better than the factory-installed one ever did.
