I had my fill of wire wheels slinging little strands of steel into my skin when doing the frame parts on the Cherokee. So I searched Al Gore's interweb for weeks before I pulled the trigger on a compressor. I knew I wanted to run a blast cabinet and they are AIR HOGS! I asked some of the guys on Garage Journal site questions and then studied their answers. I went with the Polar Air 80 gallon 220 volt. It will run a full duty cycle and has held up well for the 4 years I've had it.

There are several good makes out there. Ingersoll Rand to name one. I've seen some since that I would have bought because they were local, no shipping. Saw a 3 phase one at a swap meet I should have bought, but I'd have had to do the electrical switch since residences have single phase power,

Air is sort of like horsepower, too much is never enough. When I'm using my little blast cabinet, the compressor runs a lot.

I also looked up "Franzinator" and built one to help remove moisture, and I got an auto tank drain with the compressor so it blows out water about every 30 minutes when running a lot.

PM me and I'll go into more detail if you need.
