Default Interesting compressor deal

I started thinking that seems pretty big at 200 gallons. I went out and
measured it and it is only a paltry 152.99 gallons. I really don't notice
the run time as I use quite a bit of air running my CNC plasma cutting table
and paint booth. My old 5 hp Champion compressor would just barely keep up.

I've got a 200 gallon tank on my Quincy:

If I remember right, it takes about 5 minutes to get to 120 PSI from empty
using a 15hp motor. I'll try and time it the next time I use it. I might
be using the power hammer this weekend.
