Sandblast cabinets can perform such operations as scaling and rust removal, deburring, frosting, and surface preparation for coating. Sandblasting cabinets are offered in two basic styles - standard and split - level. The standard cabinets have door openings on the side as well as a large opening in the front. The split-level style is hinged in the center; the entire top half opens to give access to the work stage, somewhat like a clamshell. This has an advantage when handling large heavy parts.
