Looks similar to mine, which is a Craftsman 33 gallon, 6hp, mine is 240 volt though. I run a sand blaster on mine.

I think my air compressor is too small for a sand blaster. I have 120v 10 gallon.

Sandblasting uses a lot of volume, but in my opinion sandblasting really sux unless you have a blast cabinet. Unless there are little nooks and crannies I would just use a wire wheel on a 4" angle grinder if I were you.

Im with you 100% on that off road. The sand ends up being a huge mess and unless you have a big blaster its a really slow process.

Even on large objects such as doors, beds,cabs, to prime and repaint.

He's talkin about axles and hard parts like that, stuff you use a sand blaster on. If you sandblast body panels they warp.

Personally I wouldn't sandblast anything bigger than a wheel, maybe a little bigger, in a cabinet. You get that **** all over you, even if you dress like a gangster-mummy-chemical warfare soldier.
