I have one of those. I'm happy with it, but despite its size it's still a "hobby" compressor. It won't run an air die grinder or disc sander continuously. It *almost* keeps up, but after about five

None. I hope the the water that collects in there gets blowen into the dryer when I using the air. Interesting thought, I probably should disconnect the coil and see if there is any water in it. John

I have 2 compressors I am using. I have a 4hp single stage in the garage I paint in. This is adequate for painting and running body sanders, but is running pretty much continuously with sanders. I ha

He is correct about the efficiency, but the problem is that the 6 HP rating on most 6 HP compressors is wildly optimistic. It is probably a 3 HP compressor at best. The 2 stage will deliver a lot mor

I was after a 'cheap' 2-stage for intermittent use, and found a nice Coleman (I thought they were still making camp stoves trailers etc- is this to blow up air mattress?;-) 6 HP 2-stage 80 gal for $6

I've done sandblasting (motorcycle frames) with a 10gal 2hp 4.8CFM unit. It wasn't happy about it, and it didn't give me as much pressure as something bigger. But it worked. Just be careful when buyi

Yup, of course it'll work to do those things, but you'll have to periodically wait for it to catch up. For various reasons, we're running the big bead blasting cabinet off a little contractors air co

If it makes you feel any better, I sandblasted a high percentage of the surface of my bugeye with a good pressure sandblaster powered by a Sears 2 HP compressor. Now those are old horsepower, created

Sure. I've done a ton of blasting and painting with a little Sears 1.5hp portable compressor. You just have to stop and wait for it to catch up every now and then. It's not the end of the world. I g
