Default Are you satisfied with your compressor?????

A question for anyone using a blast cabinet or other tools that require lots of air.What size is your cabinet & how much air does it draw from the compressor?What size compressor are you using to run the cabinet?....horse power,tank size, cfm @ 40, & 90 lbs.?I'm in the market for both a cabinet & compressor.Some input & recomendations would be great.

I have an 18x32 blast cabinet, 4hp 26 gallon compressor. could probably use a little bigger, but it gets me by. Runs an impact wrench just fine, too.

I have a 28X46X28 blast cabinet. My comperssor is a 60 gallon with an upgraded 18 cfm pump. The original pump was a 10 cfm. The compressor was a Home Depot special that I got on sale the entire setup cost about $550. This setup has no problem keeping up with the demands we put on it. The upgraded pump works great and was very easy to install and the company I bought it from was great with their customer service.
