I got the big 60 gallon compressor years ago when I was having neighbor issues with noise. My thinking was that with the big 60 gallon tank that I could run it before it got too late then shut it off and still have air to work at night without the compressor running. Also put it in the shed behind my garage and planned on putting a muffler on the air intake and possibly building a foam box around it for sound insulation, but I was very surprised to find out that the unit was so quiet that I didn't need to do the extra effort.
A second reason for the big 60 gallon tank was for painting in the humid Florida weather. I figured that I could fill the tank, wait a half hour for all the water to drain to the bottom then drain the tank and keep it shut off while painting so I could have drier air without adding a refrigerated dryer. Not sure if this works or not, but sounded like it would. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: KR> Shop equipment - air compressors From: "Sid Wood" <smwood at md.metrocast.net> List-Post: krnet@list.krnet.org Date: Sun, May 04, 2014 6:34 pm To: <krnet at list.krnet.org> Fixed my air compressor problem by buying a new unit. Got the $179.99 sale compressor from Harbor Freight for $149.99 by using my Inside Track Club card. All of my current equipment and air accessories will work with the new higher capacity compressor. Thanks for the suggestions. Spray painting shall re-commence very soon.
