do I have to buy a compress to use this?

Yes you will need a compressor. The unit uses a lot of air so you will need one that can keep up with it without having to wait long periods in between bursts.

Yes. Something that closely matches the suggested rating (CFM and PSI). I bought a Husky Pro compressor on sale 3 years ago. It has a cast iron pump, 2 HP motor, 30 gallon tank and runs very quietly compared to other, smaller units I've owned/rented/borrowed. It can reach a maximum of 135psi and 6.5 CFM (cubic Feet per Minute) at 40 psi, 5.5 at 90 and does very well for my home projects (refinishing firearms, painting, among other things). If you got the sand blaster, I'd look into renting a compressor first until you know if you can justify the expense of investing in a larger compressor.

It's great for cabinets. It doesn't need a compressor. You need a finer tip though

I actually blew mine up by mouth, which was not fun and I don't necessarily recommend. However, that being said, I don't think you would need a heavy duty air compressor. Any air compressor would work.

Yes it is. So it can also be used as a warm compress. The directions are on the front of the pack.

You need a compressor to attach the gun to. Belloccio also makes a compressor but you have to buy it separately.

I would say so, it compresses very easily. It comes very compressed and it expands a lot when taking it out.

yes you will need a compressor, & a powerful one, these gear drive sander grinders use alot of air power.

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

Yes you need an air compressor with a minimum of 16 cfm to run this tool. I would however recommend even more cfm than that as this tool is a bit of an air hog.

Umm, seriously? Hello? Air powered tools require compressed air. Duh If you have another source of compressed air other than an air compressor, go for it.

Yes with a compressive. We will answer the question with more detail when we return from this morning's SUP race. Thank you for your interest.

No, but you can buy a small converter for @$10 (I think??) at Radio Shack or any hardware store - or do at Amazon while you're buying the Compressor.

Need to have a compressor, I've bought more... Once you start you don't want to stop awesome product!

You need an air compressor, or go to a gas station that has one. Be sure not to exceed the pressure rating of the canister!

None so far. I don't expect it to operate like a full size compresssor. I think the manual says not to operate continuously for more than 2 hours. I am surprised they say it is good for that long at a time, but should get one out of a bad spot. Emergency being key here.

You will need an air compressor to make it work. Also an air hose and a threaded adapter.

The compressor has enough to run it. but ig you use it for any length of time you might run out of air.
