Subject: Re: Air Compressors by Vetron87 on 2011/11/29 16:24:35 Joel I have a range of compressors from pancake for on roof applications to twin tank construction. The shop compressor is an Ingersol Rand belt driven monster. If your going to spray, use air ools specifically for automotive use, look for high cfm outout @ low pressure psi.This pressure and Cfm works idea for spraying and running air tools. Construction grade compressors use high pressure 85 to 135psi to operate nail guns and finish nailers. My DeWalt can power up to 7 nail guns and run all day, I wouldn't want to spray a car with it because the lowest setting is 70 psi. Like Bill said some of these compressors are loud, with a low ear throbbing drone. My IR has a muffler that lowers the db range, my neighbor has a upright Craftsman 3 horse that will drive you out of the garage in a short period of time. Most if not all general duty compressors are made in China, personally I like the Husky brand at Home Depot another neighbor bought a 3 horse upright 220v Husky works great and is low in noise. Hope this helps. |
