Worthington Air Compressor For Sandblasting?

[Shakedown St.]

Can anyone tell if this air compressor would be powerful enough to run 60PSI @ 10-15CFM for sandblasting. 220V 3 phase motor, 1.5HP @ 1720rpm. Worthington, midcentury.

Looks interesting, but no, that tank and the 1.5hp motor won't supply any meaningful sandblasting; blasters are air hogs. Usually, a minimum of 5 real industrial horsepower and 7.5 to 10hp is better yet and a 60-80 gallon tank.

A good single-stage compressor, per true HP input, will deliver about 4 true CFM at 100 psig. It is not uncommon to see this more like 3 CFM per HP.
A two-stage compressor is more efficient, typically by 15 percent, versus a single-stage compressor. You might see 4 to 5 CFM per HP at 100 psi, instead of 3 or 4 CFM. The tank should be sized to be at least 1 gallon of volume per CFM of the compressor.

If you can get by with just blasting for a few minutes at a time, then waiting for the pressure to build up again.
