Blast Cabinet Dust Filter

When using a blasting cabinet, dust is created by the material you are blasting off of the part, as well as from the abrasive breaking down from impact. This will form a dust cloud in the cabinet and make it difficult to see. The heavier abrasive particles fall back to the bottom of the cabinet to be picked up and shot through the gun again. The lighter dust particles are best removed from the cabinet by some type of dust collection system. Blasting dust is hard on electric motors and can quickly ruin a shop vacuum. I built a water filter as a pre-filter to collect the majority of dust before it can reach my shop vacuum.
