If you've got access to 220 volt, get the 60 gallon stand-up model from
Harbor Freight. Its has about a 8-10 hp motor, a good cfm rate, and costs
about $390. If you plan on using air tools alot, you'll like it better. I
borrowed a 20 gallon compressor from a friend to run a die grinder to cut
out a bit of rust and it could not supply the air demand of the grinder, it
kept emptying the tank.
