I am looking for a good compressor for my home/shop. I would like to be able to use it for media blasting and also be able to paint with it. What kind of unit am I looking for? If you have a few different model suggestions, that would be great, as I am going to be looking for a used unit.

Thanks

 

Usually bigger is better. I am gunna get the bigest tank I can afford on mine.

 

+1 the ****** the better. the ones from like home depot that have horizontal tanks arent big enough for anything more then some quick short work.

 

Two stage. 80 gallon. goes to 175 psi.

the single stage is more expensive to run and limited to 125-135 psi. an investmet you wont regret. I found a used cambell hausfeld and i love it. new from lowes the kobalt is 799.

 

 

What about this? Pro Air Vertical 80 gallon Air Compressor

 

or this Air Compressor

 

If you happen to find a used one that needs to be rebuilt i can help you out. i used to repair and rebuild compressor heads and run compression lines.

 

Rotary screw compressor.
