It's a big day for me. I've only blasted 3 pipes to date and all three have used other people's equipment. Well, today I bought an air compressor. Although, I don't have all of the equipment yet, I've begun acquiring the necessary pieces for a first-class blasting rig. In fact, the compressor is completely useless to me for about 4 months as my current shop isn't wired for three-phase electricity. But, I've GOT it! Woo hoo!
And, this isn't a little sissy compressor, it's the real deal. :thumb: When I go full time in June or July, I plan on doing it with a bang! Here are the stats:
This puppy packs a whallop!
Motor (power) -- 5 HP
Delivery -- 16.5 CFM @ 175 PSI
Tank Design -- Vertical
Tank Cap. -- 80-Gal.
Max. Pressure -- 175 PSI
Tank Drain -- Automatic
It's a pretty beefy machine. Believe me, I loaded and unloaded all 535 lbs of it myself. At any rate, I'm pretty stoked about this purchase (because it was a great deal off of craigslist) so I thought I'd share it with you all.
Take care all,
Jeff
