The cabinet is well worth the price as both bead and soda blasting are 
MESSY! They are also unhealthy so at least wear a good mask and I don't 
mean the little fiber ones.  You can get one using replaceable 
cartridges for a reasonable price.   Goggles are also a necessity for 
safety if you don't have one of the cabinets. Of course the full face 
mask with replaceable, organic filter cartridges are good too.  Don't 
use them for painting with two part cyanilics though. Those take a hood 
with breathing air supplied either from a tank or an oil free compressor.
