I have a Delta two stage compressor with an 80 gallon tank, then plumbed into another 60 gallon auxillary tank. It has more then enough CFM to run any air tools and works great with HVLP paint guns... A single stage is going to be working it's butt off to keep up with a DA....The harder it has to work the shorter time it's going to last. Before I bought this one, I figured out the max CFM I would ever need, then got a compressor one size bigger.... I hate running out of air.....
