what investment would you make into a compressor? Type? brand? etc.
I've always been a Quincy fan...by many they are considered to be the Cadillac of compressors (Northern Tool carries them).
Bigger tanks take longer to fill which means more run time...not always a good thing.
I think you'll need something in the 5 to 7.5 hp, two stage range with either a 60 or 80 gallon tank. I sand blast with a 5hp Quincy, 2-stage, 60 gallon vertical tank and yeah, the compressor runs while blasting, but I never run low on air pressure...stays at about 90 pounds all day long. I also like that it's made in the USA...I like keeping my neighbors working!
