You can use your vacuum cleaner for small chips. It will work well,
better than a compressor. Blowing out chips with a compressor has too
many downsides.

They sell 1/3 HP compressors the size of a milk jug. See
harborfreight.com.

I personally will soon offer a compressor for sale, a duplex Quincy
compressor, 240 gallon tank. capable of 100 CFM if you upgrade the
motors to 15 HP each. It needs a little TLC, however.

I find the need for a small jet of compressed air to blow out chips etc from

sort of air gun can be attached. It has to satisfy three requirements:
1) It has to be cheap,
2) It has to take up little or no space,
3) It has to be cheap,

I heard some people simply use a spare car tire. I asked at Summit tools
(who carry all kinds of air stuff) if it is feasible to attach a hose and an
air gun to a tire, they did not think so. I really do not want/need a
full-sized compressor. A compresed air bottle seems a bit of an overkill.

Any suggestions?
