As the others said, the sandblasting part takes a lot of air.  You have to 
buy a compressor based on your needs.  For occasional use to blast the paint 
of a few parts, you will be fine.  If you decide to open a restoration shop, 
you need something a LOT bigger.  For a hobbyist, stick with this one.
