Jam1775,
30 gal 6hp for that price AND with the additional items included? Man, that rocks! Hydraulic jacks are fairly reasonable these days, throw one of those in to!
Ibr8k4vetts, Good point about
oil less. I wouldn't go oiless on a larger than 110 volt size!
150 psi is a little mis-leading though. Thats a MAX rating, seldom if ever used. I'd set the regulator at about 100-110 psi. Higher is just not needed with a good size tank and the extra psi is really HARD on the compressor.
CFM calculation:
Look at the CFM rating at say 90 psi, a kind of standard. Some "cheap outifts" rate cfm at 40 psi, which is a total joke. 40 psi won't do squat! 7 cfm (for instance) at 40 psi might be 2 or 3 cfm at the REAL WORLD psi of 90 or 100.
Double stage compressor "way" better than a single Stage? Hmmmm,,,,,maybe not. Double stage will cost a LOT more. You need to do a cost benefit analysis. Single stage at the right price will work for me, (limited use).
