Default 1st compressor for a novice woodworker

Hi,

I'm trying to decide which compressor to purchase. I have a $300
budget and I know I want an oil-lube compressor. I currently own brad
& finish nailers.

My future plans include using a HVLP conversion gun and possibly using
a compressor to drive a vaccuum press (I know I'll need a stationary
compressor for a HVLP gun).


I was under the impression that it usually took about a 5 HP compressor to
run most conversion guns. I took a quick look at the conversion guns
available through Grainger's and most require about 14 CFM at 50 lb..
