How would this compressor do running a small blast cabinet? The CSF matches up.
Sears Thanks! |

it would do "ok".
I run a 5hp compressor and I have to remember to take breaks or the motor never stops. That's hard on them, big time. My buddy Duracoats more than I do and he has three compressors. They are all newer looking, two are burned out. Take VERY frequent breaks and it will work. Give the motor time to cool down. Honestly I'd rather see you have more HP and a larger tank. But what you have chosen will function if you're careful. Dan |
| I agree with what Unique said. I looked into the Sears products like that one and the one big complaint from other purchasers was that those compressors are REALLY loud and they tend not to last very long if you run them alot. You might be better off spending a little more and getting a larger one from Harbor Freight if you have a store near you. I have one from them that is a 60 gallon that I paid $400 for and it works great. If it ever stops working, I just take it back and they give me a new one. |

I recently had a bad experience with Sears service. I have been a Sears fan for 25 years. We have had 2 of their compressors over the years. The last one was just out of warranty and the gauges stopped working. I took it to the service center and they charged me $37.50 and made me wait 2 weeks. Then I was informed that they don't repair these units, you just have to replace the whole machine. Apparently they now make a totally disposal compressor..when it breaks, just throw it away a buy a new one.
I then bought a DeWalt compressor and think it is a better unit. More pressure, more HP, larger tank, less running time. All around better choice. |
