What do you think about this compressor as a choice? 5.5 scfm at 90psi http://www.sears.com/ingersoll-rand-...1&blockType=G1

It will happen again, unless you get a bigger compressor. Things are beginning to make sense now. There's no way that the compressor can come close to supplying the volume or the pressure you need during actual use. This is a 60 amp cutter, and you'll need somewhere around 5-6 cfm @ 90 psi, and about a 25-30 gallon reserve at a minimum.

The one from Sears would do it. Ingersol Rand is a good name and has good reviews. The one Rod shows for a few dollars more has 11 CFM at 90 psi. Twice the compressor. But it requires 220. You will never regret getting a bigger compressor. Ever think about sand blasting?? Even small stuff requires a lot of air. Surprised how much air you need with a D/A sander or a spray gun.

This is the one I personally recommend, as I have one of these, and it will work. Most people face the dilemma of having enough 240V outlets. This compressor is 120V and meets the size requirements. Performance is better with a higher reserve...and better price.

Mark's pick will not let you down. Rod's is a tad better for a few bucks more. I have one of the ones Mark recommends as well and they will get the job done and on 110VAC, they are great and cheap.

But if spending new money and $50 more will get a fair bit more. I would go Rod's way.

Look on Craigslist and see if there is an 80 gallon "on the cheap" first.

The one Mark mentioned will get everything done for you.

I think I will go with the lowes. That is a great deal. Wiring another 240v circuit isnt a problem, I did the one for the welder in a couple of hours. Thanks again.

thing too 240v motors last longer than 120 v plus have enough air for power air tools . I have a 120 v but it just for a back up air compressor if my big one brakes
