Compressor Sand Blasting in Cabinets

Ive done this video to explain why you need a bigger compressor for the little blast cabinets.
In the video ive used a 100 litre 14CFM Compressor to show the very bare minimum, any smaller and your just wasting you time and money. Ideally you want a 200 litre tank with 18CFM upwards if you want to blast successfully.
I wanted to show how long it takes for the compressor to run out of air and for the motor to kick in.
I hope this helps.

Or get the biggest compressor you can, I got a 7hp petrol that can run all day long and refills the tank super fast.

what brand is yours? I've bought a cabinet and have a 7hp hyundai compressor which is 11cmf, hoping it will have the guys to do the job.

@@MTBwayneMTB it should work but just use the smallest nozzles you can. You run out of air super fast when blasting.

@richardportelli1983 got it all setup and it runs easy no struggles and because I'm a mobile mechanic my compressor is in the van and My blaster is in the shed (30cm away) which I was worried about Length of the pipe ect, runs nicely on on standard middle size nozzle
thanks for the reply though 👍

Great video, any idea if 50 litre 14CFM compressor attached with 100 or 200 litre air receiver would it do the trick? Thanks

Hi, it would take longer to fill the extra tanks risking the motor on your small compressor over heating
