Compressors

[GregWeld]

Okay -- here's the only way to MATE your compressor with your job requirements...


Go find your air tools you plan to use..... they will be "rated" with a minimum CFM (cubic foot per minute) at a specified PSI....


So if your die grinder needs 3 cfm at 90 psi..... then to buy a compressor with anything less than capable than that -- you'll be waiting for the SOB to make pressure --- and the thing will be running continuously.


My commercial Champion 5 hp with an 80 gal vertical tank will produce about 19 cfm at 125psi --- and will keep up with my hand tools... but anything much less would be a complete PITA.
