What kind/size air compressor would I need with this?

Depending on the size of project and length of time your blasting. Short bursts you wouldn't need more then 1.5 or 2 horsepower with a high volume tank. But as a rule the bigger the better

a 1 hp compresser for small spot jobs. for bigger jobs, a1 1/2 to 2 hp compresser with a 20 gallon tank. if you can afford the bigger compresser, its a good investment. car tires,cleaning filters,ect. hope this helps you. I'd be lost without my air compresser.

I use a compressor that I purchased from harbor freight. Remember if you buy a compressor you will need the hard ware to attach it

I think you would need more like 50+ PSI and a fairly large amount of air, like a huge compressor that can sustain constant running. But for the money this item is well worth it.

Any compressor will work, I use a PC Pancake for small jobs and a PC Job Boss for larger ones.The reason is simple, I prefer to have a larger capacity so that the compressor is not running all of the time.Good Luck

The manual recommends 90-120 psi. I run ln the mlddle of that range with a 7 1/2 horse-80 gal. compressor which is way more than necessary. A 3 to 5 horse would do fine. The spec sheet l is available at Hobart's website as a free download.

It will probably work but what I would look at is the type of compressor you have

Sorry but you'll need a 36 gallon tank with a sufficient compressor to boot to run an air sander like this. The small Porter Cable compressor is good for about 10-15 seconds the first time you pull trigger and decreases to almost nothing within a minute or two. Don't fell bad I made the same assumption and mistake

You don't need a regulator or gauge - the compressor has them built in. Get a 1/4" x 25' flexible hose and a quick release connector kit. Amazon has a kit that has everything in it for like $10.00 Henry@winko1.com if you need help with anything else. Henry.

i would definitely use a pump or compressor. it is possible by mouth but that would take a while, depending on how much air you have. lol

Hi You will need an air compressor; this type has more power than electric.

Hi, yes, an air compressor is required. 90PSI or bigger capacity is recommended. We used 200PSA MAX 8Gallon works perfect.

It will work but the compressor will be running all the time plus sometimes you might run out of air

No, you'll need something with a tank so you have enough volume of air. At least a 1 gal tank, preferably bigger. You can pick up that type of compressor for much less than the cost of one of these.

Nope, nothing. Wouldn't you think it would? Anyway, great little compressor. Just plan a trip or two to the hardware store before you can actually use it.

Thanks for your interest in this product. We do not carry the air compressors, but I can tell you that the correct air fittings would be Amflo C1, C2, CP1 and CP2.

1/4" or 3/8" hose will work. You just need standard fittings to hook it to the compressor.
