I am getting close to sanding and spraying undercoat and things. I have a POS 5 gallon Compressor now that will barely power my spray gun.
I need to buy a shop compressor along with accessories. I have friends that own a Sears Hometown store so I was looking at Sears compressors in the $300-$400 range for a 26-30 gallon tank. Any recommendations on compressors and air tools, like sanders and body tools? Do you like oil free or compressors with oil?? I am not stuck on Sears, I just like giving my friends the business.
I prefer oiled compressors. A lot quieter and I don't believe in running machines without oil. Be sure to match the CFM of the compressor to the demand from your tools. Paint guns won't be the problem. Check the consumption in CFM on the DA, Die Grinder, and cutoff wheel you plan to buy. Get the biggest tank you can fit in your workshop and you will be happy.
I have a Coleman air tool set and some CP(Chicago Pnuematic) stuff. No complaints. My compressor is a Coleman oiled compressor with a 27 gal tank and 7.1 CFM at 40 psi/ 5.4CFM at 90 psi rating. It won't keep up with my die grinder. It will run with the Blast cabinet, but it runs constantly.
Hope that helps!
