Can anyone recommend a decent suction feed blast gun. I just got one of these cheap ebay blast cabinets (SBC220) which I cant fault for value but the supplied blast gun is about as much good as a chocolate fireguard. I have only got a 14cfm compressor so I believe I am correct is saying I need to stick to a 3mm nozzle. At the moment I am considering converting it so I can use my pressure pot. Any Suggestions?

Convert it so you can use your pressure pot.
I bought a decent blast gun from a firm called Anglo Scott Abrasives of Wigan, but they don't seem to be with us any more. It's fine for doing the bits I missed after blasting with a pot, but the pot wins hands down for efficiency.

It's no worse than you'd expect considering the price.
On the second nozzle and will be well and truly done for by the time I wear out the last one. But at that price it's disposable.
Seems to work OK on my 14cfm (ish) compressor with about a 75% duty cycle at around 100psi
Pressure pot sounds like a better bet though
