Anyone have one of the small, tabletop units? Thinking it would be great for stripping paint, rust, etc from parts.

Looking to stay under $150.

Thanks,

Jim

 

Personally I don't own one, however I use a good size one about 3x4 interior diameter. They work great but require a large volume of air to run. Even the small ones require the alot of air to flow. We run ours at 80psi, not to many home air compressors will last long at that rate.

 

I have 5 hp, oil-sump type compressor, which I think would stand up to occasional use on s small blast booth (125 PSI).

check out tractor supply, they sell them in the price neighborhood your looking at.
the prices online are almost always different in store, because in the store you dont pay shipping. on a item that heavy you likely wouldn't want to.
im guessing you want somethign like this.

i have one....the blasting box is the easy part, you need a big compressor and tank to keep up with it....they work great
