What would be the minimum air compressor to run normal shop tools. DA sander for example. I have a 100psi 2 gallon and I think it's too weak.
Thanks FABO

Years ago I had a friend and mentor who was a machinist working for Chrysler. I was on a tight budget and was looking at two compressors for my shop. I was temped to buy the smaller, cheaper unit and I asked him basically the same question. He has been passed away for years, but your question brought back many fond memories! BTW, Here's how HE answered that question when I asked:
I'm 50 years old and I've been a car guy all my life..All my friends are car guys also. And in all my years, when I've been shooting the sh*t with those friends, I 've never had ANYONE say to me
"You know? I've got a problem! My compressor is just TOO DAMN BIG!"
On his advice I bought the biggest one they had and I'm still using it 20 years later!
this!be careful to look at airflow and only airflow that is specified at the "old standard" of cfm @ 90psi
Lay down setup is nice.
What's the benefit of lay down vs. upright?
Thanks!
