Shop compressor

Looking to purchase a big compressor that I can run in my current two car garage on 220v but be large enough for the shop I plan to build eventually. I want it powerful enough to run sandblaster, plasma etc for short periods of time. This will be for hobby use and I don't want to buy a piece of junk

So what's the question? This is Tech & Fab section

What brand and model
, should I look at?

quincy or ingersoll rand. check out northerntool.com got good prices

ingersoll rand 80 gal should do just fine mine will run every thing in my shop .......
around $1000 at tractor supply

I have a Campbell Hausfield 60 gallon 220v that is working great so far. Picked it up from the tractor supply for around $400 on sale.

I use a new Quincy in my shop that I think is going to out last me. I have yet to use a finer compressor. Quiet and smooth.

Hook a 60 gal 220 Campbell H with it for sandblasting. Sand needs CFM.

i would say curtis 80 gallon

Ingersoll rand T30

Stay away from the Single stage, 5hp Ingersoll Rand.
First compressor pump went down @ 5 months, spun crank bearing. :****: Replaced under warranty after waiting a month until a Tech could look at it. The replacement lasted less than 2 months, same problem. I got tired of screwing around waiting on a tech to come look at it and bought a bare pump from these guys: http://www.eatoncompressor.com/page/page/504747.htm
