Had a birthday yesterday and my wife got
me a new air compressor. She was more than
a bit surprised when we went to Grainger with
the pickup and she had a chance to see this
"monster" sized unit. I think she was thinking
of something about the size of a bread box?? who
knows. <G>
I ended up with a 125psi max, 3.1hp (true) 6.0hp
(air compressor rated horsepower) with 60 gal
tank. It is the Dayton brand, made in the USA
including the cast iron 2 cyl, single stage pump.
It cost $425.00. About the same as the equivalent
unit in the warehouse building centers, except they
had aluminum castings for the pump and a 50/50 duty
cycle. the unit I bought has a 65/35 duty cycle.
Haven't hooked it up yet, but will do so soon.
