Re: Compressor suggestions

I have a kluge... I ended up with an 8hp 220V single stage motor that's rated at hp constant (not peak) powering a four cylinder single stage full lubrication General compressor designed to work on low pressure sprinkler systems. All of this fills a 60 gallon tank. The time to bring pressure from 90 to 120 psi is a little long, but it's easily able to keep up with an air grinder or cutoff wheel and maintain 90 psi. It's not exactly what I want but it's been working like a dog for 8 years and MADE IN USA is cast into it in 3/4 inch tall letters.
