    Anne, I use a compressor for both my GRS System Three hammer system
    for stone setting, and my sand blasting tool for adding finishes,
    however I would think that first you would have the need for these
    tools, and then you would acquire the compressor to run them, not
    the other way around. Both are somewhat expensive and normally a
    craftsperson would not purchase them without having the need first. 
    Years ago I also used compressed air to dry jewelry coming out of
    the cleaner or after steaming, but found that more useful for
    high-production applications rather than lower volume manufacturing
    and repair. 

Good luck,
JMF
