Got a 3 gallon gravity feed sand blaster from the wife for Christmas. (maybe shes tring to tell me something)

Now I need a compressor. What should I look for ??? Small shop use. old truck and a couple of tractors that could use some clean up and fix up.

Thanks in advance for any help .

If you have a Sams club around where you are you can get one with a 60 gallon tank cheaper than anyplace I've seen yet.Might look in a Harbor Freight catalog,but to run a sandblaster you need a lot of air and one of those portable ones might blast sand but it will run constantly.

Look at the maximum cfm required by your sandblaster and get one bigger than that by some safety factor that makes you comfortable. It needs to be bigger so that it doesn't run constantly.
