I've got an identical one to the SSB100, only badged differently and painted red.

I'd ordered it sight unseen, new, then noticed a couple of less than favourable reviews.

It surpassed its monetary value expectations and continues to perform perfectly adequately. Well worth the money IMO.

I've got one and you need a decent size compressor to run it properly. I've managed to sand blast bits and bobs but my 50L compressor struggles to deliver the constant pressure needed to get a good blasting action, does the job eventually.

I've modified mine so i have an inlet fan and an extractor fan, helps with the dust so i can see what i'm doing.

The cabinet isn't as important as the abrasive used
