 What are you using for an Air Compressor
I need a new compressor for pressure casting. I know what I want but I need the minimum size I can get away with. What are people using?

 Re: What are you using for an Air Compressor
I wish i could just use my Iwata but it wouldn't keep up. I need something with a tiny footprint. Unfortunately Sears won't warranty air compressors.

 Re: What are you using for an Air Compressor
Uh Oh, if you own property you should shop larger tanks sizes and consider acquiring some air tools. Paint gun, nail gun, pressure washer... just a few of the game changers that await.

 Re: What are you using for an Air Compressor
A pancake compressor is what I'm looking at. I don't own any property and had a big compressor I sold to move here. I wish I had a bunch of air tools. That would be nice. I think I decided on a CH pancake compressor. I just need to find room for it.

Don't forget to scour your local craig's list for freebies. Bulky gear like that will pass thru hands freely.
