[AT] Sandblasting safety

[John Hall]

We get pretty good results recycling ours at work althoough most of what we 
blast is aluminum or stainless so there is not foreign matter to add to the 
tank. You can tell when the abrasive has gotten fine/worn out as it is not 
agressinve even on aluminum. A good exhaust fan is essential to making a 
cabinet work well. I worked in one shop that had a dedicated shop vac. It 
was noisy and didn't last very long but worked well.
