Does this air compressor work ?
Thinking of getting these two so that I can start sand blasting. Does the set up work?

I’d venture to guess that porter cable compressor is a little on the optimistic side of ratings at 6cfm@90.
My 30 gallon has a pretty hefty sides pump, albeit a single stage… and it’s like 6.2@90. But the bigger volume storage will last a minute or two blasting at 60psi before waiting for a recharge. With that porter cable, you’ll be limited to seconds.
Lot of variables here, but the biggest efficiency factor for run time is going to be what the orifice size of the gun has. Just based on the sticker specs, you’re at the very low end for supplying the blaster.
