    Using weaker phase converter to slow down compressor?

    Here are my two nozzles, 1/4" and 3/16". Maybe I would be better off using a 3/16. I'm building a small hobby shop next to my home, and am looking for a permanent fixture. I will be looking into painting these projects as well. I am still intrigued at how a VFD would work on a rotary. The...

    Using weaker phase converter to slow down compressor?

    As far as blasting I'll be using a 3/4" hose, and a 1/4" nozzle. 90PSI crushed glass. Looking to blast seven project cars. I have a lot of room.

    Using weaker phase converter to slow down compressor?

    The sizes I was looking at were 70-80 amps that were available in my area, 30-40HP, 60 gallons. It gets to the point for some reason, where it's a grand cheaper to buy a 30HP rotary compressor that no one wants to put in their garage. Versus buying a 20HP 50CFM single phase piston compressor.

    Using weaker phase converter to slow down compressor?

    I just looked up Variable Frequency Drive. That looks intriguing. So if I got a 50HP VFD, I could technically slow down the speed of the motor to lower costs? Also yes, I am using 220v single phase. May be too much I'm asking for.

    Using weaker phase converter to slow down compressor?

    I am looking to install a 3 phase rotary compressor in my home garage, that is rated at 30HP. I don't have 3 phase power, and was told it is very expensive running a three phase motor on single phase. I am looking to start a sandblasting side hobby on my projects and friends projects, and my...
