even my small blaster runs low. i have a 185 cfm diesel compressor. the high pressure is for jack hammers or blasting on concrete. it takes no more than 35 lbs to remove paint biggest mistake made when blasting. too much pressure and too much media.

Man Shine,that's a ton of CFM!!!.I bet your using a 2"I.D. hose too.Yeah you have to have a compressor rig to back up any blasting and the right ones for that ant cheap.

1 1/4 hose 3/8 nozzle running 30-35 lbs of pressure with the least amount of media possible. only way to control it.
and yes it cost a penny or two . diesel aint cheap either and it uses it . you wont find me doing any 400 dollar blast jobs.
