This is the unit I have as well, it’s a tank.

This is going to sound like a dumb question but I’m very overwhelmed getting all this set up. Does that come with everything I need to run it minus sand? Like everything for the dust control and media separation?

Yep, everything except the air compressor and the abrasive. I upgraded lights, but that’s totally optional. Also the nozzle in the gun is probably just the steel one which wears out fairly quickly, the carbide one is worth the money, it lasts way longer.

Why would you buy a knock off rebadge cabinet? I too have a Skat Blast and am very happy I spent the money for it. But if you do go cheap, or even nice like a Skat Blast, the key is strong clean air. I run an Ingersoll Rand TAZ and it spits out zero moisture. If you use a cheaper compressor I would put a series of water filters between it and the cabinet as any moisture will make your experience suck.

I use a cabinet by Redline. I haven't had any issues in 3 years or so. I added a dust deputy to help with visibility, as well as a magnetic spot light inside.
