mini air compressor advice

<< < (2/3) > >>

skibum:
Thanks for all the info so far guys. Its helpfull so keep the ideas comming.I could use all the advice I can get.

My air compressor was a viair, and it was around $300, but works great. However it was a portable, and I hardwired it and installed it in conjunction with an old coke C02 bottle, and a well pressure switch, so it would turn off when the tank was about 155-160psi. You dont need a $300 compressor but i def reccomend using an air tank, it gives the compressor a head start as long as you keep it filled after each time you use it. The C02 bottle will give you the options of either running air in it, or getting it filled with Co2 to run power tools or use it for airing up, if you plumb it cleverly you could have the system work to use either or.

How big is the C02 bottle you used?

BlacXJeep:
I believe its a 20lb, but you really dont need one that big

Where can you find a C02 bottle cheep?  Or should I just by a cheep air tank?
