Worked with a old Sears unit for years, 3 hp and 20 gallon unit. Still works fine but when I got the glass/sand bead cabinet it ran all the time and had to take a lot of breaks to let it catch back up.
Went to Harbor Freight and got a 60 or 80 gallon monster 6.5 HP 230 volt unit that just digs right in and holds its own. 14+ cfm at 90 psi or so and cost only $380. Well worth it and now that I am using 230 to run the puppy my electrical costs are lower.
