Nice, but that sucker would take up 25% of my shop.
Should do the trick for sure and then some.
Wow. I wanted one of those, but it was out of my budget. Maybe next decade.
Wee bit more bad *** than a little oil-less job
Nice!!
I've been running a V-twin 80gal for about 10 years now. Love it. Similar specs... 15+cfm@90psi all day long. A couple of things to consider...
- When I rebuilt-remodeled the "40 Watt Garage", I took the compressor in mind, and built the end/corner of the main bench with the machine in mind. This corner was a "catch-all" for crap. I measured the footprint of the compressor, and have 4x4 posts/legs under the benchtop in these spots. The compressor is on the bench (!), sitting on 1" cork vibration pads, lag-bolted through the benchtop into the legs/posts. (Running, I can have a glass of water 5' away without a ripple... OK, a bottle of beer )
- The other thing is routing the air intake(s) up out of the workspace into the attic. Relocate the intake filters up there. It cuts down on the noise by 50%+. No more LOUD "whumpawhumpawhumpa" in the shop!

Just remember to have a flexible pressure line/union from the compressor to any "hard pipe" lines in the shop!
