I see the older you get, the more arrogant you get. Maybe the result of too many gunshots? Single or 2 stage has nothing to do with it being an industrial compressor although most, not all, 2 stage are industrial units. 2 stage is usually for higher delivery pressure. If it's a cast iron head Devilbiss, it is an industrial air compressor. There are also some lower end models with the Devilbiss name. Why? Because Devilbiss were well known for the quality and durability of their compressors! They made some very large V4 compressors of 20 HP or more. The same reason Home Depot sells power tools with the Ridgid name. Ridgid is famous for the quality of their pipe tools.

10 minutes cooling every 45 minutes can make a huge difference and isn't the same as continuous duty for hours on end. I worked as a sandblasters helper loading sand for about a week at a tank shop while waiting for blueprints. This was a 750 CFM diesel compressor with a sandblaster that held about 500 lbs. of sand. You couldn't fill the sand when he was sandblasting but every time he stopped or moved to a new location, you could add a bag or 2. I also own a pressure blaster and bought a 9 HP gas engine Webster 20 CFM compressor to run it. A Webster is also an industrial compressor. My neighbor borrowed it to sand blast his drill stem fence posts but never let it cool off and the compressor suffered. I always let it cool for a minute or so every ten minutes because just like welders compressors have a duty cycle.

Before you start saying I don't know what I'm talking about, maybe you should see if you know what you're talking about? I would hate to see the original poster spend good money on a compressor only to find out it won't hold up to the demands of a sandblaster. Seems others who responded tend to agree with me. All it would take is for someone to figure they only have a little more do and then boom!, the compressor packs it in. You don't get warranty if you abuse things and not everybody has an unlimited budget like you seem to think.
