Need a new air compressor

SGBARRACUDA said

Thanks for the reply. The specs on that one are 11.5 @90PSI. My biggest issue right now is with my blasting cabinet. The one I have now doesn’t begin to keeping up with it, but it is old. The cabinet calls for 12@ 90 PSI. I’m afraid this one isn’t quite big enough.

Blast cabinet says it all.... A 15CFM will do pretty good. There could still be some interruption to be honest. The one I have at home now is over 20 and it will cycle off using the cabinet.

As for brands, it's all about your willingness to spend. The one in my garage now is a twin cylinder Husky that got the brakes beat off it for about 5 years (production environment.) The one at my dad's which has seen a ton of use (blast cabinet also) came from Northern tools in the mid 90's. Both have been trouble free....

Quincy and IR do make some nice stuff. If you are going to upgrade consider a stand alone water separator while you are at it. It's a game changer...
