nope, I would think thats correct, we use a 185 cfm for our pot, its a little bigger pot, but the nozzle isn't be much larger than a small home or garage type.
with these its about air volume and how much of that volume can you supply at a steady rate.
I have a pretty big indoor cabinet that i feed just fine with 16+ cfms of air, max 150 psi, average working pressure is 110 or so from an upright 220 volt 80 gallon compressor
that being said, the outdoor small pots will work with the set up he has, just not for long and not very efficient and I think hes gonna be madder at that than he is at his grinder.
and for our area, I get 75-125 hr for blasting depending on what it is
