The sandblasting cabinet can also have a flat bottom or be placed on a table top. This type of sandblasting cabinet is used for smaller jobs. However, certain types of cabinets are called "V"-shaped base cabinets. These cabinets have legs and can be used for parts that are too large to be completed on a desktop.

Smaller sandblasting cabinets can be used for work such as coffee cups or trophies. These items are quite delicate and require more control over the sandblasting process. Many rock gatherers also use medium-sized sandblasting cabinets to blast and polish the rocks. The large sandblasting cabinet can be used for flat glass windows, shower doors or door inserts.

Some cabinets are equipped with blasting devices. This makes the sandblasting cabinet more convenient to use and is an ideal choice for large-scale work. Other cabinets are also equipped with a built-in dust collection system, which makes cleaning up easier.
