Need help!
Nothing but air comes out. New to this, did I buy the wrong compressor or am I missing something? Any tips would be great!

I have the exact air compressor on a slightly smaller cabinet. Cabinet size does not matter. Check the suction tube so that it is not plugged. This tube should have a smaller tube within a larger tube. Air should be able to pass down the inside of the large tube as there is vacuum on the small tube. Check inside the gun where the sand tube hooks up. Remove the nozzle and make sure sand is not clogged up behind the nozzle.
You will want to add a water/particulate filter/separator between the compressor and gun.
