- I have one of those. I'm happy with it, but despite its size it's still a "hobby" compressor. It won't run an air die grinder or disc sander continuously. It *almost* keeps up, but after about five

- None. I hope the the water that collects in there gets blowen into the dryer when I using the air. Interesting thought, I probably should disconnect the coil and see if there is any water in it. John

- I have 2 compressors I am using. I have a 4hp single stage in the garage I paint in. This is adequate for painting and running body sanders, but is running pretty much continuously with sanders. I ha

- He is correct about the efficiency, but the problem is that the 6 HP rating on most 6 HP compressors is wildly optimistic. It is probably a 3 HP compressor at best. The 2 stage will deliver a lot mor

- I was after a 'cheap' 2-stage for intermittent use, and found a nice Coleman (I thought they were still making camp stoves trailers etc- is this to blow up air mattress?;-) 6 HP 2-stage 80 gal for $6

- I've done sandblasting (motorcycle frames) with a 10gal 2hp 4.8CFM unit. It wasn't happy about it, and it didn't give me as much pressure as something bigger. But it worked. Just be careful when buyi

- Yup, of course it'll work to do those things, but you'll have to periodically wait for it to catch up. For various reasons, we're running the big bead blasting cabinet off a little contractors air co

- If it makes you feel any better, I sandblasted a high percentage of the surface of my bugeye with a good pressure sandblaster powered by a Sears 2 HP compressor. Now those are old horsepower, created
