Bush Tucker Man:
I'll be in the market for a compressor soon, can anyone offer any assistance in choosing correctly, please.

It's got to be capable of running;
Drills
Ratchets
Cut-off saw
Tyre inflator
Impact gun (possibly)
Spray gun??

What sort of air-delivery do I need?
Is it coupled to the receiver tank size?
Is a 50litre tank sufficent, or should I be looking for a 100litre?

Thanks

Richard

mine has a 150litre reciever, a 3hp single phase motor and i believe delivers 11-14cfm.

I use all air tools with mine , including a sandblast gun which uses massive volumes of air.

Bush Tucker Man:
Been looking at the specifications & prices at 'Machine Mart'
Saw this one that was a 'Practical Classics' Best Buy  in a recent issue.

But the price!! :shock:

(might have to investigate the local 'Free-Ads' & E-Bay)

davidlandy:
I would definately go for the larger reciever - otherwise the motor will be running all the time trying to keep up!

try here - these look reasonable
