Doug:
I also thank you for your comments, and I will save them for future
reference as well.
One more reliable factor that can be used in comparing specific
compressors is the SCFM rating. I have noticed that even when a
compressor has inflated HP ratings, the SCFM specs appear to bring it
all back into perspective. After all, that is more important in
determining if a compressor can meet your needs.
