Ibve got a Quincy 310 compressor sitting on a 80 gallon tank... using a 5 hp
motor.  Itbs turning about 800 rpm

the rating is 3.9 to 9.6 ACFM @ 175psig   with a 2-3 hp motor...

Ibm wondering if it will handle a small (bench top) or small upright sand
blast cabinet without laboring it to death

Harbor Freight rates their 40# upright model at  9.5 cfm at 90 psi..

A NESCO about the same size says 12 cfm at 80 psi...

An ATLAS says 15 cfm at 100 psi

sounds like blast cabinets are rated like lawn mower engine horsepower ratings
!!!!!

any ideas if I have enough compressor ??

thanks
John
