Do you have problems with your compressor lagging in psi using the pressure pot?   I have almost the exact same compressor with a siphon feed and I have to basically fill it to 150psi, blast, then refill it.  What psi are you blasting at?

Nice homebuilt cab, lots of room.

Blast at 10 to 20 psi i'm not a big fan of siphon units
as they waste alot of air.

Holy sh*t, 10-20?  What media are you using and what are you blasting?  I have to run my siphon feed @ 80psi just to get it to work consistently, but it is the POS HF gun that came with the cabinet.  I'm typically blasting glass using 80grit AO.
Going to have to get a pressure pot.

 I blast glass with this setup, usually use 100 or 120 grit AO.
This time I used Silicon Carbide
Carving glass with out a pressure pot is a little tough to do
stage blasting can be done tho.
I bought the pressure pot many years ago from Tip Tools
was expensive then but has paid for itself many times over.
