I bought a TP Tools Cabinet in 2000. Its been used heavy and no problems whatsoever.
I buy crystal clear window plastic to cover the front glass. This is a protector so the glass does not get etched, which it will without protection. The plastic covers TP Tools sells are to expensive. The crystal clear plastic for windows comes 36 inches wide and can be bought at a home center. A few screws to remove and the glass comes off to apply a new sheet of crystal clear.
Also buy the BEST vacuum system you can afford. The cheap syste TP Tools sells will not keep the dust level down in this large cabinet. I made my own system out of a huge shop vac along with the TP Tools collection canister. I have a dust system that was used on a surface planner that I am going to convert this coming summer.
Be sure to ground and electrically bond all pieces of the dust system to eliminate the possibe dust explosion, including a bare bonding conductor inside the vacuum hose.
