Media blasting is all about the air compressor. If the compressor doesn't at least meet the blaster's minimum recommendations, your in for a frustrating or at least long experience.

Media blasting requires a lot of air volume. More than most folk's home shop compressors. If you've got a marginally adequate compressor and have a good friend with his own compressor, you can run two compressors connecting their air line to a T fitting then to the blaster. Just make sure to run each compressor on a separate breaker circuit.
