[FWDLK] air compressor - reply



Hi Bryan,

The most important thing about an air compressor is not the tank size; rather, it is the CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute ) that the compressor generates. Certain tools, like cut-off wheels, dual-action sanders, sandblasters and blast cabinets, just to name a couple, use prodigious amounts of CFM . Buy the most expensive unit you can afford, it will be a good long-term investment. And - more than anything - check the CFM ratings of various units you are considering for purchase.

Subject: [FWDLK] air compressor



Hi all,

This subject applies to Forwardlooks only in that I intend to use this purchase for a lion's share of the renovation work on my 58 Fireflite. Here it is: I want to buy an air compressor, and I see they come in 3, 4, and 6 gallon. Will a 3 gallon suffice for most the work we face in our renovations? I first need it to remove some stubborn bolts, and eventually will need it to do some painting, and perhaps run some pneumatic sanding/grinding/cutting tools. Any advice will be appreciated, but since this is a stretch (re: topic) it would be best if you reply privately. Thank you!
