Guys, I own a Fluid Power distribution company and deal with air systems for a living. Like Sieg said, speed $1500 and buy an industrial grade compressor and then forget about it for the rest of your life. Atlas Copco makes really nice compressors (we do not sell them) with 5hp Baldor industrial grade motors. These motors are about twice the size of the motors seen on the big box stores compressors (and the link) and are true rated motors. The Copco that we test all our equipment on is super quite and will push 19cfm at 125 psi as well. It is a 5hp model. We paid $1600 for it. Look around at some auto body supply shops, fluid power distributors etc. or an industrial compressor dealer. Ask them questions.
