I'm taking over our huge shop space when a co-worker retires in a few weeks. We teach welding and small engine repair (among other things) in there, and I really want to put in a blast cabinet. I have a small benchtop model from Tractor Supply, it's OK but not great. Got it cheap on CL, so no regrets. I have about ~$1000 left in my budget to get rid of or I'll lose it, wondering about this model:

They also sell this model with a dust collector, but it's $1300, not sure I can swing this. I know you must have one, but I'm wondering about the nice industrial Shop Vac we have, would that work? We also have a big Jet dust collector but it's for woodworking, not sure it will work for this.
We have an enormous air compressor, so that's no problem.
Suggestions?
