Question

is this compressor adequate to be used with a pressure blaster? The CFM rating seems to be sufficient, however the tank capacity may be a problem.

This air compressor produces 15.9 CFM @ 90 PSI or 14.7 CFM @ 175 PSI, it can produce these CFM's continuously regardless of the tank size. As long as these CFM and PSI ratings meet your abrasive blaster's requirements, this compressor will work for you.
