I was looking through the directions for a HF blast cabinet recently. One of the warnings/recomendations was not to use a harsh abrasive like aluminum oxide. I thought aluminum oxide was one of the preferred mediums for blasting. What's up with the HF blasters?

Yes, ALOX will kill the Harbor Freight blasting gun/tip. Upgrade the gun and you'll have no problems.
