Running three orbital sanders at the same time is "a lot of multiple users"
for most small shops. From your comment you must not be equipping a typical
home shop. You probably need to be looking into upper end compressors that
will provide durability as well as capacity. 5HP, 2 Stage minimum with a
bigger tank.

Guessing you are in the $1,200 to $1,800 range for the compressor.

Anyone know of a good book or website that discusses the set-up and
use of compressed air in a woodshop? Bill Pentz hasn't done air too,
has he?!

I'm looking for info on what machine, dryer, filter, oiler etc... is
necessary to run sanders, sprayers, vacuum presses, screw guns etc...
Not a lot of multiple users doing continuous run jobs, but it needs to
power say 3 orbitals continously at peak.

Thanks.
