Bench-Top Blasting Cabinet A.E. Aubin Co. Marlborough, Conn. The Aubin Model 1400RC Abrasive Blasting Cabinet is an easy-to-use bench-top unit with a built-in blaster that works with a variety of media. It features a hinged cover and over two ft3 of work area, allowing ample room for prepositioning of various size pieces. Typical applications include deburring, polishing, etching, and cleaning. The unit includes rubber-glove-equipped handports and a safety-glass window for manual finishing of parts. The Model 1400 RC will recycle media, or it can be cleared to change to a different type or size.
