I'm moving this to General Car Chat where it should be locked as we just had a conversation about this in that forum a week ago. Try looking for it.

No problem, we didn't cover compressors in the other one, so this actually should stay open i suppose. Here's the thread i was telling you about: https://www.tamparacing.com/forums/s...hreadid=160424

i have a 5 gallon, with a 10 gallon tank run inline works well, runs all my tools except the huge husky high-speed sander.

can port/polish ALL DAY LONG. have an angle, a regular, and a 90 degree
redid a boat (lots of grinding) went through god knows how many 20-40-80 grit screw in pads, and shitloads of glass/gelcoat.

all ya need is a little compresser (100-150$$) and then run a 10 gallon air tank inline


this is, of course, unless you have mucho dinero for this.

I got a 6 hp 33 gallon compressor. runs my beader, air tools anything you can think of. Haven't found anything it won't run.

the only think I wish I had was a machine that you can attact to this to get the water out of the air. I know they make them just don't know what they are called because everyday I ahve to drain about a cup of water from the tank
