If you use the search function, type in the word compressor, you'll find dozens of discussions.
Given the work you describe actual air volume output and tank storage size is more critical than pressure, hp of the motor, or any other numbers game sellers of compressors utilize. As an example, I have a compressor that puts out 24 cfm at 90psi. It will fill the tank WHILE I'm using something like a da and not keep running constantly trying (in vain) to keep up.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

Actually starting clearing some of the junk out yesterday, got 2 square feet done then went and got a glass of iced tea and sat down to watch the nhra drags, never when back.
My compressor is too small - good for airing tires!!
I like the one Bob has described.
Most air tools use 7-10CMF ????
A 24CFM should keep up well with better than 50% duty cycle.There is no limit to what a man can do . . . if he doesn't mind who gets the credit. (Ronald Reagan)
Visited a family member at Dockery Ford from the time I was 1 year old through their ownership and then ownership change to Morristown Ford. Dockery was a major player in the Hi Performance...
