Best Air Compressor?
I currently have a 60 gallon upright Porter Cable air compressor that I believe is spec'd to deliver 9.5CFM at 40PSI and 13-15CFM max and I am not totally happy with its performance while sandblasting. I do a lot sandblasting in a larger blast cabinent as well as pressure blasting out in my driveway and the compressor can not keep up with either and runs continuously. I also will be doing a fair amount of HVLP painting with this compressor.
For my applications what compressor specs should I be looking for and can anyone recommend a good make and model and where to order it from if you know. Thanks.

I do custom paint and alot of sanding and I use a single stage compressor. I would say the compressor you have is a two stage. The two stage compressor is good for buuilding higher preasures for hand tool like impacts and tools in that nature that use higher burst but usually do not run long. A single stage compressor is designed for volume more than preasure.
