There is NO treatment for silicosis. Me, i'll just use a safer media.

Wow… an illuminating video!
Now I know what to do tonight, after sunset… :whistle:

The video shows a build that is pretty much the same as the Oneida Dust Deputy. While a guy could make one himself, the "do it yourself" kit was only $65 US and I provided my own 5 gallon bucket. Had it together and working in the same afternoon.

Some day I'll move up to one of their "industrial" metal units because this thing works great. They have lots of other options as well.

If you set up your blast cabinet --> Dust Deputy --> shop vac --> then duct the output from the shop vac outside like a dryer vent, you'll have excellent dust control. I still wouldn't use it in my basement, but this is about as good as it can get in a garage.

Thanks, Ron!
The Oneida woodland camo model fits perfectly with my shop :biggrin:

Looking for something else, as usually happens in my goat room when I've to find something.

I'm looking at some YouTube videos about Cyclone (Cy-cone???) dust collectors, and I noticed a general lack of what I think could be a useful feature.
With cones dropping dust directly into a bucket there is the risk the finest particles could be aspired by the "sucking" pipe at the top.
I think another small cone placed tip up just below the bucket hole, with the base larger than the hole itself, would reduce the risk of re-sucking particles from the dust bin.
I hope someone with a Cyclone will test this theory

So I've came up with (What I think) is a perfect plan for a homemade sandblast cabinet, Benny & I did a little horse trading and I'm gonna end up with a Mazda B2000 truck cab with all of the glass in it and both doors. All I'll have to do is make the bottom chute & a frame/base to hold it and roll it around.
Should be plenty big enough for about anything I would need it for, plus it could be used from front or rear as suggested earlier. If I need to do something really long I can roll down the windows.

Then I must look if I can find in some barn one of these:
