Congrats!
I have to agree that the vertical tank compressor from Harbor Freight is a
nice set up. The one that I have seen is being sold under several different
names. I can't remember the names but I do know I have seen it with a red
tank, tan tank, and blue tank. I know because I have been trying to get one
for quite a while. The cheapest I have found is at Quality Farm and Fleet.
They have the same compressor for $369.00!! It is 6hp with the 60 gallon
tank. BTW I have seen this same compressor listed from 6hp to 7.5hp but
interestingly the cfm is the same for all of them. This is a single stage
compressor so the air drops rapidly with pressure, but it is close to 10cfm
at 90psi. This will run most anything short of a sand blaster. I am not
sure what it would take to really run one of those.
