Thanks foe the video mate, I have the same cabinet in Australia. Unfortunately you forgot to show us the completed valve set up and I can't understand how you have air blowing into the tube through that sideways valve set up and not be blowing air back up into the cabinet? What did you put on the end of the nut that you welded to the tube? What attachement have you got your shop vac attached to because my cabinet has the stupid cone paper filter and I can only sit the end of the shop vac tube inside the cone filter against the paper part and it kind of works in removing the dust but I still get dust coming up from all four corners of the door. Also...how donyou make the media flow down into the hopper as mine seems to gather around the bottom edges of the walls. What's the best pressure to use too as mine is set at 90 PSI ??
Great idea, but this is wayyyy too complicated. You know what, I'll just screw each feet on a piece of 2x4 wood (not sure which side yet I'll see when I have the valve done) to raise it enough to just do the regular valve and save all that trouble... Will be a bit high on my accessory bench now to work but I'll just get on a step. When I get a bigger garage I'll just build a bench for it at a lower height so it's perfect to work on. Thanks for the video.
Super helpful thanks… experienced slugging and didn’t realise it was wasting my time!
Great video and explanation about blasting,I just bought a tabletop blast cabinet and looking for mods. Thanks
Glad I could help!

There is no air blowing in. The valve should be just opened to the air
