if you have a lot of time it will do the job.it takes about two min.to cycle from full to when the compressor comes on.then you have about 30 to 35 seconds of air.

It will probably work but what I would look at is the type of compressor you have

My husband used an air compressor. We've been using them all summer on our boat and they work great. I would definitely recommend them. Also, the cheapest I've seen.

I use an upright type shop compressor and I think anything smaller and the compressor would have to run nearly constantly to try and keep up. I've used mine to blast with glass, walnut , & sand . all with no problems. I also use a large tarp as a back drop to later collect the abrasive for reuse

I would say this would work fine. This is one super compressor for almost everything. Would buy another one in a heart beat.

It worked extremely well for me using this type compressor. I painted eight pieces of outdoor wrought iron furniture in a very short span of time. As most would suggest, take the time to practice on something before using for the items mentioned

Sorry, Michelle; The spec sheet that came with my regulator was for a different model. I can tell you it keeps up with most painting (hvlp) and sandblasting chores. You'd need an Industrial-size compressor to outwork this regulator.

I would give it a go at painting a car but make sure to use a LPHV paint gun... Like any other compressor make sure to use filters on the air line water will kill your paint job.

Yes but you will need a compressor big enough uses a lot of air I would suggest a belt sander though it will do the best

No, you'll need something with a tank so you have enough volume of air. At least a 1 gal tank, preferably bigger. You can pick up that type of compressor for much less than the cost of one of these.

Sorry Justine, don't know for sure. I run mine off a big factory compressor. Yours might work if your material you put through it is thin. I use mine to spray fabric glue, its pretty thick. It pretty much spatters it out, which works great for me.

It will work but the compressor will be running all the time plus sometimes you might run out of air

It would be my expectation that this unit could handle a small sandblaster with enough sustained air-flow for smaller parts. Check your CFM demand for your cabinet-unit and compare it with the listed CFM capacity (at selected pressure) for this compressor in the manufacturers' data. NorthStar's product specifications on the Amazon listing seem to be pretty accurate. Should be simple deduction from there... good luck.

Very dicey. A quick trip to Harbor Freight will get you a heavier compressor for not a lot of money. (I have the http://www.harborfreight.com/10-gal-25-hp-125-psi-oil-lube-air-compressor-61490.html )

I used mine for a nailer to nail down my hardwood floors. really good compressor for that - also use it to top up my car tyres on occasion!

I use it with a nail gun and it works fine. The compressor starts up to replenish air quite often but it is really quiet. I like it.

I took off a crankshaft pulley bolt (using this impact wrench) with a 20 gallon compressor that produces 5.3 CFM at 90 psi. It worked great; ripped it right off, no fuss.
