Hi all,
This site was recomended to me as a source of good info on air compressor applications.
I'm looking to purchase an air compressor that will keep up with a sand blaster.My understanding is I'll need at least 15 cfm @90 psi to keep up. I'm not looking to do this alot, only for my early Jeep restoration projects for myself. I have been looking at the puma 60gal at 18 cfm @ 90psi or a C-H 60gal at 15cfm @ 90 psi
What you guys think? Should I be looking for something else? your help would be appreciated.
Gary

Buy the biggest air compressor you can afford, with the biggest tank. You dont need it for your sand blaster but you are gonna get more air tools as you start using the AC. Trust me, you'll like air. I found if you get an AC for a die grider, it'll handle about about anything. Also you may want to use more then one tool at a time.

How big of an electrical service do you have to work with?

Mine puts out 24 cfm @ 90 psi. It is usable but slow. Also does not have a 100% duty cycle. But it rests as I put in/screen more sand. Mine is not a Quincy, but that is what I would recommend for long term use. 100% duty cycle and better valves (less wear)$$$$.

Go with as much capacity as you can afford. Most of us wish we had purchased a larger unit, I don't know anyone that wishes for a smaller unit.

If your blaster does have a "needed" air supply then I would add more than a few percent to it. I can run a little harbor freight 20lb blaster with all three of my small compressors running. Use a small tip and fine sand for almost all auto type work. Big Emglo at 6.2 a chineese at 2.2 and a small Emglo at about 2cfm. You can never have toooo much air. If you have a toy oiless look into a positive pressure hood for yourself. The breathable air you need must come from an oiless pump! Every sandblaster I have used always works better with more pressure!!! Jeffcat

go with the higher CFM air compressor at 90 psi. You will need it.
