This one:rv9aviator said:I bought a Sears piston type that is 25 gallon, 6.8 CFM @90 lbs. 120 volt compressor. I have been very satisfied with it. I have used it for all my air tools, paint spraying and it does a great job. I saw it in a current Sears catalog for $379.00 the other day. I like the 120 volt horizontal tank type because it is easier to move around from the shop to the hanger. The vertical types are too top heavy to throw in the truck and haul to the airport for me. It is pretty quiet but I set it outside under a carport and run the main airline into the shop to a regulator and water trap. Bigger is always better but this compressor is doing the job fine and is really handy. The model number is 919.195411 or 0919541N.
This oil lubricated compressor has served me quite well for many years, including the building of my 6A. By keeping it ganged to a portable air tank, its effective capacity is increased to 27 gallons. I should note I typically use a Dewalt cordless electric drill instead of a more traditional air powered drill motor. That (ear friendly) construction practice alone reduces the duty cycle on the compressor motor dramatically.Chappyd said::.....What are you folks using for compressors?
