does this compressor work for sandblasting?

No will need a large compressor ,sandblasting takes a lot of constant pressure..

No. This is only for trim work where requires short blast of air at lower volume. Sand blasting will need a larger compressor with high volume of continuous supply of air. Check the sand blaster gun for required air volume in CFM. Then look for a matching compressor that meets the minimum required air by 150%.

you need to first find the requirements of the sandblast uint, then choose a compressor.but this unit is so small that only a jeweler would use it for sandblasting.

I would seriously doubt it. It just doesn't have the capacity. As I said in my review, it can sustain 50 psi through one of those tiny blower attachments, but that's a heck of a lot less airflow than a sandblaster.

I do not think that this compressor would be good for sandblasting, as the storage tank is so small. You probably should look at at least a 20 gallon compressor for that.

I wouldn't try to use this for sandblasting. It would run a couple of nail guns but not for constant use sandblasting.
1823964
No this compressor is to small , mine would not operate an air drill..............

On a very small scale it would work but most sandblasting uses much more air. Look at the air requirements for the sandblaster and select a compressor accordingly.

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!

Not sure about industrial sandblasting but the compressor performs for pneumatic tools which includes shop tools and carpentry framing nail guns.

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 )

Not really. I do use it to blow off tools at job site and that causes it to continually cycle. Grinders, sanders and drills require way more cfm.

It will do it, but the compressor will just run a lot more to replenish the air if you have of lot cleaning to do with it.

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.

I can't say about the cfm, but as long as you're under the max psi it will flow whatever your compressor will put out. My compressor is a Camp/Haus 7HP, 4 Cylinder, 135 psi unit. No problem with big air tools or a sand blaster. I hope this helps.

I really couldn't say for sure, I use it for auto tires. I believe the compressor would be running most of the time as the tank is small and kicks on soon after starting a tire fill.

I haven't used it for painting yet but it runs a sandblaster nonstop, although it does cycle often during the process. I would suspect it to keep up with an hvlp without problem.

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.

Absolutely! ---- it works wonderfully!Grass, Gravel, cobblestones! Have not tried sand but...

Yes. I use it with a small Bosch oiless pancake compressor. Terrific nailer. Vinyl siding adapter available

I would say it would probably handle it but will probably be running steadily. The best thing to do would be to find out the CFM (cubic foot per minute) requirement of the sander and impact to see how this compressor compares. Mine has handled everything I've thrown at it.

I bought it to etch some granite and have a fairly light duty compressor - 7 gallon 100 - 125 psi. It barely made a mark. It might do the job if you have a more robust compressor, though not sure.

this model wouldn't be powerful enough. do a search on the name and see the other compressor's that they offer. I can say that it is a quality product.

It will work if you reduce the air pressure thus reducing the RPM. I use mine for sanding and polishing a lot and do not want it running at it's full RPM because it' to fast. That quickly destroys sanding and polishing disks. I generally use it around 35 to 40 psi which of course requires less CFM. My compressor is very large so CFM is not an issue. I have a small 6 gal pancake compressor for my nail guns etc. I'll hook up the grinder today and report back how it performs.
