Hi folks,
I'm thinking about taking the leap into air tools. Sanders, staplers,
finishnailers, etc. I've got a decent basic understanding of air tools
and
compressors, but not realy enough to make a good purchasing decision.
I'm a one man (sometimes 2) custom furniture shop, so I don't need a huge
unit. The most air it would us would be 2 folks running sanders....

I'm looking for something stationary.
I can run permanent air lines to the workstations.

I don't know anything about what brands are best (reliability,
durability,
etc.). From what I've read and discussed with friends, a 2 stage is
the way
to go....


Bite the bullet once.

Get a 5HP, 2 stage compressor with an 80 gallon vertical tank.

You will need a 2P-40A (240-V) circuit.

The above will allow you to spray or sand without running out of air.

It will also keep the air temperature down thus reducing water content
in the air.

Been there, done that, have the above.
