Brian,
Don't believe it. You won't get much of a compressor running on 120V.
Don't go anything below a 5hp 30 gal tank.
I'm sending you a draft copy of an article on blasting, etc I've been working
on under seperate cover. I just have published it yet. It is in PDF format,
and requires you have Adobie Acrobat Reader (which is free).
It deals with compressors because you need on for blasting.
If anyone is interested in the article, email me, and I'll send you a copy.
John
