Hi all,
One thing to take into account with Abrasive blasting more so with using suction is wear in the nozzles,
Going from 2mm to 3mm will double the volume at 90 PSI from approx. 8 CFM to 16 CFM,
This is why very important to renew nozzles regularly as you will soon exceed the capacity of the compressor.
going for a bigger size nozzle does not work it will only slow the velocity of the abrasive medium being used and will not be as Effective.
To put this in perspective When I was running a 200CFM compressor the max nozzle was 8mm at 90 PSI
