Minimum Air Compressor Size

go-fish said

I do have 220 for the drier AND the drier is now on propane so it’s freed up. I’ll call an electrician to see what it would take to get that 220 outlet rerouted. I had bought a 110v welder and quickly found out I would rather have a 220 welder too.

I've got a 5hp 220v 80gal compressor and it is fed off a 30amp breaker so you have the circuit to do it. you could just run an 8ga extension cord (check Amazon) for temporary service or it would make more sense to have electrician put a 50/60 amp sub-panel in the garage with a couple of 220 and 120 circuits coming off of the box.
I put a 100amp sub in mine and have individual circuits for the TIG, MIG, plasma, 3-phase rotary converter, space heater, and two 120 outlet runs. Best addition I've made. Plus when I sell the house I can advertise as ready for the heavy-duty EV fast chargers.
