Man I need a new compressor, this is painful

Doing lots and lots of bead blasting in my cabinet, and while the cabinet works great, my compressor is struggling. I can only blast for about 2-4 minutes, before the pressure drops so low that I'm barely making progress. I have to stop, make some taco's, cut the grass, clean the toilets, ect... while it recharges. Freaking frustrating. Nothing a grand or so can't fix. JEEEZ.... Can somebody be a pal and buy me a new 80 Gallon 5HP IR compressor?

Maybe you could get a cheaper one and just plumb the two together. Also check on a bigger tank. You have to put down the part or switch to another one at some point so that will buy you a little more time.

You could ask your wife, but since it keeps you cutting grass, cleaning toilets, and preparing meals, it's a cinch she will not be volunteering. What's next. laundry and making the beds?
