I have an 80 gallon Porter Cable single stage that is 12 years old. It is f=
ine for small jobs and tools but runs constantly when I use my blast cabine=
t or any sort of tool that runs a lot like a sander, polisher, die grinder =
etc. It is also pretty loud but I've had no problems with it other the how =
hot it gets. (I really need to move my blast cabinet away from the tank!)

I don't know what a "scroll compressor" is but assume it's better than my s=
ingle stage.

Buy a two stage if you can afford it (unless the scroll type does the same =
thing).

I=92m in the market for a compressor.  I=92m looking for about 10 CFM at 90=
 psi.

I actually have an Eastwood scroll compressor on backorder, but I=92m getti=
ng anxious, and thinking about other things to spend the price difference o=
n.  I do like that the scroll compressor is very quiet, though.

I=92ve looked at four possibilities, all much cheaper than the Eastwood:

        Husky 60 gallon (from Home Depot)
        Kobalt 60 gallon (from Lowes)
        Puma PK-6060 (from Amazon)
        Campbell Hausfeld VT6195 (from Grizzly)

The Husky and Kobalt are very close in price, the Puma and CH are a bit mor=
e.

The Kobalt is dual-stage, the rest are single stage (but dual cylinder), bu=
t all meet my expected air requirements.

I believe the Kobalt is made by CH, though it is not the same as the CH mod=
el I=92m looking at.

Any experience or comments on any of these choices?  Anything else I ought =
to look at in a similar range?

Thanks,
Darrell
