- Quite awhile ago there was a discussion about hooking 2 compressors up together for using sandblasters etc. I couldn't find the info about hooking them up in the archives. Is there anything special I

- You can "T" (connect air lines together) in as many compressors as you want. They will all start and stop via their own pressure controller. What you gain is tank volume and recovery time. I had 2 ti

- you can find, then hook up an even bigger one in series. Then go down to the bar and bragg how big your compressor is and scoff at the guy with the wimpy girly man compressor :) Jeff Quite awhile ag

- As long as both compressors put out about the same PSI, it is really pretty simple. You need a T and some various hose fittings to hook the two compressed air hoses together. This puts the compressor

- After sandblasting a whole utility trailer when its 100 degrees out and having to wait for the compressor to build up again and again, I would even take some girly-man compressors and hook them up to

- Hi there, Though I ended up with a Dodge instead of a Chevy, I still keep my eye open for a suitable Chevy or GMC truck, preferably a big old wrecker available for dirt cheap not too far from where I

- Vince, small hp compressors are very common, we use them in commercial office buildings to control the heating and air conditioning systems (old technology). We only need 20psi max. in the system. Mo

- This horsepower thing has gotten out of hand. Horsepower now means nothing. Its grotesquely inflated. An old 3/4 horse compressor puts out about 3-4 CFM. A DA sander needs about 8CFM. Serious sandbl

- As Bob said, the horsepower ratings are not what they used to be...that old 3/4 horse would be rated 2 or 3 hp today! I have an old 1 hp 20 gallon Sears compressor that I use as a portable...but I'v

- Yeah, horsepower ratings are a joke. The AD's for example in 1950 with a 216 engine were rated at 29.4 horsepower. My 6-1/2 horsepower 60 gallon compressors give me 8 cfm if I am really really lucky.
