Default New compressor

This past summer I damaged two of the cylinders on my old compressor using my sandblaster. It would keep up but it ran constantly to do so, got too hot and burned head gaskets and damaged reed valves was the result. The cost to rebuild/repair it made it not worth it. I've learned a ton about compressors and manufacturers since burning my old one up. I only wanted to go through this one more time so I made sure this time it will produce enough air to supply my sandblaster. The cost for the new electrical service almost made me sick but now that I'm past that, I'm feeling better about it. Its a FSCURTIS CT series,7.5hp, 2 stage, 80 gallon compressor. It says 29cfm at 90psi so that should get the job done for me. Still trying to get everything hooked up (electrical, new fittings and such) but I'm getting there.
