[FWDLK] air compressor - reply

["John J. Hertog" <crossram@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bryan,

The most important thing about an air compressor is not the tank size; 
rather, it is the CFM  (Cubic Feet per Minute ) that the compressor 
generates.  Certain tools, like cut-off wheels, dual-action sanders, 
sandblasters and blast cabinets, just to name a couple, use prodigious 
amounts of CFM .  Buy the most expensive unit you can afford, it will be a 
good long-term investment.  And - more than anything - check the CFM ratings 
of various units you are considering for purchase.
