LOTS. Probably the minimum would be 22 cfm, but as always, the bigger the better...

Agree with GTM. Be aware that some shops rely upon different pressures when they quote their "Free Air Delivery" figures. For some, their figures are based on 90psi, which gives a higher FAD figure than those who use the 100psi rating. So ask before you buy.

I pick up my 3 phase 7.5HP mother tomorrow morning :D . Looking forward to having that much "air" available :D

WATER TRAPS :!: get water traps. If you get moisture coming through your media blasting set up it can quickly clog up, very annoying :wink:
