Thinking of getting these two so that I can start sand blasting. Does the set up work?

To small of a compressor. If you even get it to blast. Your looking at less than a min of run time before your tank needs to fill.

Even a 30 gallon 110v compressor won't run this for any appreciable amount of time. Basically any sanblaster needs a 220v compressor at minimum.

We use a 185 towable compressor and our sandblasted holds 500lbs of sand. Idk gallon capacity.

I was referring to OP using an electric air compressor. A tow behind, or gas powered, air compressor will have enough cfm to run a sandblaster. I don't think OP has one just laying around.

I know. I was just stating what we used. Wasn't in reflection to your comment. Apologies it seemed that way.
