Cabinets are standard with most system and are a box with legs, made of steel or plastic. The durability of the construction is a must, as it will be exposed to direct hit from the gun. Many cabinets will have a window, allowing the operator better control of the process. Guns used in sandblasting operation can be pedal or trigger operated. Hose is also a critical part of the equipment, as it transports the sandblasting media which is highly abrasive
