I've been thinking about this, since I have one good 2 HP already. I don't see why you could not simply create (out of iron or copper pipe) a manifold that has an inlet from each compressor and an ou

I wonder then, if one could pipe the output of a small compressor (like the ~2bhp one mentioned) to the input (removing the baffleing system that seems standard on most) of another, somewhat larger

The manifold idea might work. However, IMHO you can't discount the accumulator. The larger the storage tank the more of a buffer you have to smooth out the air flow, similar to a capacitor in an elec

Check the CFM (Cubic feet per minute) rating of the compressor. You'll need at least 11 CFM to use air tools, preferably a bit more (12 - 15). Nothing will drive you crazy faster than 30 secs of orbi
