Please reply if you have used this with a blast cabinet, I'm looking for a cabinet/compressor combination for blasting small parts before painting.

I have used it to spray paint cars, most likely the same requirements. I have had no issues with this compressor to date. Runs well and keeps up with what I need. That's the best I can tell you.

No I haven't use my compressor for blasting parts before painting..I use my compressor mainly to inflate tires and remove the wheels....

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.

I'm using a portable 6 gallon 150 psi pancake compressor made by Stanley. It's fine for my basement/garage projects using any of my 3 nail guns.

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. Yes.

I don't believe that this compressor can drive air tools of that type. The only air tools that I've used with this unit is smaller paint spraying guns, inflating tires and multiple sizes of air nail guns. That's a good question and I would suggest going to the Bositich web site and sending that question to the Customer Service / Tech Help via the Contacts link. This is a really good compressor, it's fast, designed very well and it's not as loud as prior units that I use to own.

A smaller compressor would work, but if you need tons power at least a 19cfm compressor. I would recommend the aircat gun, am not too happy with the CP7748.

Grinder would be fine. For sandblasting you need a very large volume of continuous air. My old 5HP could not handle my blast cabinet. For that I needed to go with an IR 240v 7hp 80-gallon compressor like this one: Ingersoll Rand Co IR45465408 7.5 Horse Power Air Compressor Model 2475N7.5-V

I'm using this air compressor "Makita MAC2400 Big Bore 2.5 HP Air Compressor" for Nail gun. The Nail gun works perfectly.

Good compressor for painting, you can adjust the pressure for different paints. I used mine to prime and paint all the exposed rafters in a catheral ceiling before I put them up. Might need a water separatot to paint cars.

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 use a 15 gallon 3 hp compressor. Approx $100-$150 at home depot I think. I'm not sure of this gun sets requirements, I ended up returning this set it didn't spray too well and made a honking sound. If u are looking for using a spray gun with a smaller.compressor...look into a low volume low pressure gun set.

From my experience (used it only once) with 2.4cpm compressor with only 1 jet. I was applying bonding cement to cinder-block as the only layer and I'd use it again. Saved me lots of time. If you want to use 3 jets you'll need bigger compressor, but frankly one jet is all I needed. It empties the canister in about 20 sec. To answer your question. No, not only finish, it's definitely great for heavy applying of stucco. Hope it helped. M

I have seen simular issues with my pancake compressor, 120psi is about were its set. I bought this just to shoot my 2" nails so that's all I use it for, I would say 20 percent don't set the head deep enough, but it could be the profile also. I use a spring punch from a paint supply shop and it works wonders ! Good luck hope this helps??

I've used this compressor with a pneumatic nailer at 90psi without any problems. I'm not too sure about an impact wrench or a cylinder leak down tester. I've also used airbrushes with it at 60psi and I can keep painting without having to stop and wait for the tank to fill up. Hope this helps.

I do not know if you can use the compressor with a spray gun other than the B&D; that was design for this compressor. I used the spray gun for ceilings and have no complaints. Remember to cover everything when using for the ceiling and have the angle of the paint tube pointing towards you.

In short, I don't know. I have never used this tool for this purpose. I have cut a lot of block with this, and a Horrid Fright grinder (which I have been unable to kill) and not had problems. Given what happened to your PC, I would have my compressor fairly close and blow the thing out every 10-15 minutes, or so. (This will also give the tool a bit of time to cool down.) Good luck with your project.

My husband has an air compressor and used that to blow up mine. I hope this helps.
