Motor speed only has one consideration. Generally, old school belt drive compressors with 1725RPM motors are quieter than 4350 motors.1725 to 1740 rpm motor
THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH and while on this, view CFM ratings with a jaundiced eye. Old school ratings were at 90psi, but sometime ?? in the mid sixties--early 70's people like Wards and Sears started rating them at 40 psi (to make them seem larger) and then some genius started rating them at INTAKE/ atmospheric air. The numbers get larger, but the true 90psi output stays the sameCFM is the king of compressor stats and trumps everything else, but surprisingly few people use it in conversations like these.
If you have adequate CFM, you theoretically don't even need a tank.
If you'll be doing any sandblasting 12-15 CFM @90 is borderline.
Dandy. I sold a lot of Quincy's back on the tool truck.I bought a Quincy 5hp/60 gal/4 cyl./2-stage two years ago. Total with tax was about $1,400. Made in USA, too.
15.7CFM at 90psi.
I also use my old tank (60 gal) as an auxiliary tank. I never run out of air these days.

Great video. I sold a lot of Astro guns on the tool truck. They were nice for the price.This looks even better.Better built and a little more money...
