Even twice that probably isn't going to run your blast cabinet continuously,

tank size is important too. Basically the tank makes up the difference
between
the compressor output and the air gun consumption, until you stop to change
parts or whatever. I find having the tank run out first quite annoying.
This begs a question about one of my plans for the garage. Last year I
bought, at auction, a large compressor with a large tank, probaly $150
gallons...5' long, 3' high approximately. The tank fits under my workbench
and my
plan has been to attach my portable compressor, a Home Defect model probabably
similar to the one orginally described in this post. My thinking was that,
yes it will take quite a while to fill the tank to say 90lbs pressure, but
then
I should be able to work quite a while off the big tank.
