Ok I'm completely onboard with needing a larger compressor, but what's the smallest I can get away with while using something like that 40# Harbor Freight pot? Something that won't require a near-constant duty cycle. |
I have a vertical 80 gal tank 5.5 hp compressor that keeps up with my HF ressure pot adequately (pump cycles on alot, but it pretty much will keep up with nearly continuous blasting). I have used a smaller (maybe 25 gallon 3hp) compressor before, and it would not keep up with continuous blasting.... PITA for all but small brackets or engine parts.
