Awesome explanation. You get pdf's that shows the HP, CFM, Nozzle size, etc. As a result, I have a mate with a 7.5HP for an 8mm nozzle with a 300L tank and he gets a steady 6 bar blasting with walnut or peach shells. CFM is your biggest headache. Single-phase compressors can't deliver the air I need for a 6mm nozzle.
Thanks for speaking to the situation of having a compressor rated lower than the requirement of the tool and what that means because it's difficult to get a straight answer to that question.
A sandblasting cabinet that will be used to make address stones and gravestones for my business. What would be the best 80 gal or is 60 gal. fairly similar in break time for air recovery? 80 gal. is huge, but maybe it is what I need. I just had a DeWalt delivered. The box with the connections was bashed but it seems unharmed inside. Again it is huge, but maybe that's what will keep me moving.
Would the 60 gallon 5hp ingersoll rand 18.1 cfm @ 90 psi be able to sand blast good? I’m trying to put into perspective what I can sandblast with that? How long would it take to do one wheel of 18 inches? All 4? Currently I have a 60 gallon 11.5 cfm compressor. My blast cabinet is the Eastwood b60 7cfm @ 90 gun. Just trying to figure out my best option here. Any advice and knowledge on my setup would be greatly appreciated. This is a hobby. I plan on sandblasting dirt bike parts, quad parts, and wheels for vehicles. Thanks!

Thank you, that was a HUGE help!
Great video, thanks Ian!

You have to size your air compressor based on how many cfm your blaster will use and at what psi. I can't answer this question sir.
Great video. Very insightful, thanks man.

Thank you! Best explanation I've seen on RUclips. NewSub.
That's a good way to burn up the compressor pump. You should not be exceeding 50% compressor output cfm continuously.
Man well explained I just subbed
Well said Mate
