NO!!! I had a 130psi 21 gal 3 hp compressor and it would give me about 30 seconds of full power then run for 10 min trying to keep up. I would not use less than a 60 gal tank and a 240V powered motor. I would love to pick up a 125 gal Propane tank to use as a 2nd storage tank before i do blasting.

Yes I am using a hobby gun ATM untill I start doing this full time. Just trying to do small parts again to fund my shop building and future upgrades of tools
