John, I find it hard to believe that the unit is only 1.5 hp, is it a
split phase motor with a capacitor piggy backed on the motor? And you
also have to take into consideration the ratio between the drive pulley
and the driven pulley on the pump. With the correct ratio pulleys you
could probably generate 8+ hp at the pump. With this size of unit it is
probably rated at 5 hp and will probably generate 8.5-9.2 cfm at 90
psi. For the home shop it would be a great addition, and with permanent
mounting to a concrete base you can plumb air lines all over the shop
area for convenience.
