O T Air Compressor

I've got a 60 gallon HF compressor (US General), they're made by ABAC/American IMC

Bought my 60gal 7hp 220v Husky unit from Home Depot - made by Campbell Hausfield but carries a 3yr warranty unlike many others. It's oiled - much quieter, longer life.

Stay away from the oil less compressors. They are very noisy and will not last hardly anytime. If you will be using it very much you probably need to go with a 2 stage, at least 5 hp and a 80 gallon tank. By very much I mean like using a DA sander or more than 1 person using the air at the same time. Plan on spending at least $500.00 and probably closer to $1000.00. buy more than you think you need and maybe you will not outgrow it in the first year.

I bought a Quincy 5HP two stage with a 90 gallon tank. It was in constant daily service for 9 years running our pad transfer machine, then I used it on the Hawk and the ragtop. I also purchased an intake "muffler". You can carry on a normal conversation while it is running. No matter what compressor you buy, get an automatic drainer. You set it for length of drainage, and drainage interval. You never have a build up of water with one of them. I still use it occasionally to buff and it really performs flawlessly.
