First of all Stick Welding and Lou, I am sick of seeing the two of you ruin posts from people who have legitimate questions only to continue your childish bickering. There has got to be a forum somewhere on the Internet for people who love to argue. Find it and go there!
Now to the OP, if you are in a position to do so and plan to do a lot of sandblasting, buy a compressor with more CFM than you think you need because it can be a long and drawn out process if your compressor can't keep up. You will also be wasting blast media once the pressure drops off. I have a Sears Craftsman compressor that I bought 15 years ago. It says it is a 5hp (probably not), direct drive oilless with a 30 gal tank. It works great for about the first 30 seconds then loses pressure and doesn't take much material off. I did two smallish heating radiators for a friend last fall and what I thought should take me an hour or two turned into 5-6 hours. That made me want a bigger compressor and it is high on my list of new tools to buy when I have an extra couple grand. I want to do one of my tractors but wouldn't even dream of doing t with the compressor I now have. Oh, my sandblaster is a pressurized unit from Princess Automotive (in Canada) which I believe holds 50lbs of media.

As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
