Mine is simple.....
I have installed a 5 gallon metal can with a store bought plastic cover that has a molded angled intake and outlet, which they claim, will spinf the air flow....... it collects a lot of solids...... inclusing a lot of the blasting media(aluminum oxide)........... media is so dusty fine that we discard as resuing it would just be a waste......It has prolongued the life of the shop vac to at least twice as long as before...(over a year now).... and the negative pressure of the cabinet keeps leaks to a minimum so a face mask is hardly required.
In answer to Jordan's door leaks....... get yourself a roll of winter foam rubber door sealer at CTC...... get the thin type 1/8 or 1/4 soft foam.... easily installed witht eh self adhesive backing......
I find that turning off the ceiling lamps in the shop reduces glare from the window glass and increases visibility to the inside.
To save our backs and make moving the cabinet easier we built a angle iron floor platform on casters.... raises the hand holes about 6 inches and provides a shelf for the shop vac and 5 gal. can all in one contained unit...
May actually use it this weekend to clean up a doz. or so rear shock steering ball linkages from earlier CMP......now that I bought replacement gloves....
