Good luck. Tom

Still sorting out what compressor exactly, it probably will not be the end all be all with no compromise because I just don't need to run a blast cabinet 8 hours a day. The other issue is I only have 40amp service in my shop so the biggest compressors are pushing the limits there if I want the compressor and lights to work at the same time!
I am thinking something in the 60 gallon, 10-12 CFM @90PSI range will do what I need it to. I have only really been looking at the more conventional electric motor/belt drive setups, not the oil-less.
Linear Mode
