Good advice, except don't get 120V unit.
If you can afford it, the big ones at HD or Lowe's. $400 for the single
stage, but the two stage is a lot better, up around $800, if you can afford
it. I have a Brand X that's run perfectly for over 10 years of home
service, including a good bit of sanding. Both need 240V, but it's just a
run of Romex from the panel.

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....

any comments?

thanks
