VOT VOT VOT in a box

Looks really nice there. Can I make two highly recommended suggestions?

1. lighting. a simple cold-start florescent light fixture bolted up in the top back corner would be highly beneficial if you haven’t already planned for it. I don’t even bother using our machines if the lighting is out. Our soda machine can house two or three VOT’s at once. Lots of dark space w/o the light in there.

2. vacuum ventilation. Almost 100% a necessity in closed quarters. With the vent systems shut down on any one of our machines I can lace the entire 2K sq ft cleaning room in media dust within minutes of startup. a simple squirrel cage blower blowing into a drum with some cheeze cloth filters is quite suitable for your setup, and greatly improves the visibility inside he cabinet when blasting. You can also use a shop vac, I’m just one for minimizing noise anywhere possible. The machine housing cannot be completely sealed off, so media dust will find it’s way out and form a cloud and pending the media being used it’s not always good to be breathing nor a good thing to have all over shit in the shop(like exposed engine components and car paint)

Gonna be a good addition to the tool collection for sure

Yeah lighting for sure! the kid came with one simple flood light housing and a steel electrical box, and I will make another one also so there will be two. At some point I will change them out for a 4 foot florescent if I need more. we will see.

I am going to put a hole in the side for the shop vac with a drywall dust filter on it, to suck the dust out. And on the other side make a big intake filter/vent to let air in as it gets sucked out.

Once I get a few projects done, and save up a little money I have my eye on a relclaimer and a stand alone vac system I can mount to the side of it to like you said keep the noise down and make it legit.
