Giant TumbleBlast™ Auto-Tumble Basket for Sand & Bead-Blasting

The Giant needs a freestanding cabinet with about 18" W × 17" D × 18" H of interior space and a side door large enough to pass the unit through. Most tabletop and benchtop cabinets are too small; if yours is one of them, look at the Standard TumbleBlast™. Check your exact cabinet with the free 3D Compatibility Tool on this page, which covers about 476 models from 36 brands, including wet-blast and vapor-honing cabinets.

Choose the Giant, our industrial tumble blaster, if you blast with sand, aluminum oxide or other abrasive media, run production or all-day duty, load more than 10 lb, or have parts too big for the Standard's 9" basket. If you only bead blast small parts now and then, or your cabinet is on the smaller side, the Standard is the better value. Both rotate your parts so every surface gets blasted evenly.

The Giant is an abrasive tumble blaster built for sand, aluminum oxide, glass bead and other standard blasting media, which makes it a good fit for automated grit blasting. Its 12" basket is all 304 stainless steel, designed to stand up to aggressive media. If you plan to run steel shot, steel grit or another specialty media, contact us before you order.

Yes. The Giant is built for continuous, production-volume duty, with a 12" all-stainless basket, a NEMA 23 stepper motor and digital speed control from 0 to 40 RPM in either direction. To turn your cabinet into an automated sand blaster, mount the gun aimed into the basket and keep the blaster firing with a clamped foot pedal or a timed solenoid valve (not included). Stay within the load and speed limits for reliable, long-term operation.

Load up to 25 lb of parts, filling no more than about 20% of the basket volume. Most batches take 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the load, media and finish. With large, heavy parts, the real limit is usually finish quality rather than weight, so start with a lighter load and work up.

In practice, dings are almost invisible because the blasting is continuous. The key is to stop the rotation before you stop blasting, and not to overfill the basket. For high-value or dent-sensitive parts, start with a few parts per batch, add the optional liner so parts can't ding on the basket, or run a single large part on its own.

It runs on the included 24V power supply, which plugs into a standard wall outlet, so no special wiring or electrician is needed. The tumbler uses no compressed air; your cabinet still needs its usual compressor. If you're outside the US, contact us before ordering so we can confirm the right power supply for your country.

The Giant ships fully assembled with the stainless basket and tumbler unit, an external magnetic control box with digital speed control, a 24V power supply, mounting hardware and an installation guide. The Unit + Blaster-Holder option adds our Noga-style magnetic gun mount. Installation takes minutes: set the unit in through the side door, run the cable out, stick the controller to the cabinet and plug it in. No cabinet modifications are needed.

Every blast basket is a wear part, especially with abrasive media. The Giant's all-stainless basket is built to hold up to it, and when it does need replacing, replacement Giant baskets with a CNC-machined mounting flange are available and swap out easily.

Yes. The Giant uses the same protected motor design as every TumbleBlast™: a semi-sealed stepper motor inside a full enclosure, behind multiple metal plates. TumbleBlast™ units run in hundreds of wet-blast and vapor-honing cabinets, and we've never had one fail from wet-blast use. The 3D Compatibility Tool on this page includes wet-blast and vapor-honing cabinets, so you can confirm fit.
