Compressor: It's a Husky 60 gallon, 3.2 HP, 11.5 @ 40 psi, 10.2 @ 90psi, 135 PSI Max.

Blast Cab says: 125 psi max , 13 - 15 @ 80 psi

Do I have a big enough Compressor

Any reccomendations, love ot hear.

maybe! you'll have to test it out. you might be just on the edge of not enough volume. If you are going to use an air hose to feed it use a hose no longer than 25' of a 1/2" hose. I have a 10HP 120 gallon tank & I have no issues.

I'll set the cab within 10 feet of the compressor and give it a whirl. Reclaim/dust box is back ordered 20 days they says, darn!

that's what they told me. 3 1/2 months later it arrived.

I hope that doesn't happen to me, or I will HAVE to wreck my shop vac. If the compressor isn't gonna work, I get a big one, try what I have first. Do you have the part numbers for ordering this 3 month wait "tips"?

not anymore. I called customer service/parts & referenced the blast cabinet part #.

you can get a shop vac cyclone on ebay for under $100 shipped. it goes in-line between the shop vac and cabinet and works amazing. nothing gets through to the vac and there's nothing to ever get clogged. if you just use it for the cabinet, i'm sure you can reclaim a good bit of the media. search "cyclone separator" in ebay.
