Minimum Air Compressor

I've ranted on this before

Some compressor ratings are imaginary, nothing but hype

You want to IGNORE HP because it is no longer legit unless talking bout respected, belt drive, traditional motors. But some of the "name brands" have become polluted on the "lower end" with Chineseo imaginative marketing.

BE CAREFUL to look at airflow and ONLY airflow that is specified at the "old standard" of cfm @ 90psi

Many "liars" advertise at either 40 psi or atmosperic (suction). These ratings "make" a compressor magically larger.

You want BELT drive, CAST IRON pump if you can get it and airflow at 90 psi.

Tank size is secondary---does you no good to have a huge tank and a tiny compressor.
