Small compressor wanted for small air tools, not looking for some huge commercial type, just something for the garage at home.

not much use but try www.machinemart.co.uk I used to have a couple of old ones.. and they allways leaked.. I now have an se14 (i think) 14 cfm Industrial Compressor... over the top from what you are saying... but this is just in my home garage for running air tools


Let me know if you need anymore advice...

Would recommend 9cfm minimum though.

Thanks David, i have checked out that web site which is very usefull.
Do i go for an oil free compressor ?

David_Wallis

It depends... I dont like the idea of oil free.. I havent had to top mine up since I got it over a year ago... and it doesnt blow oil down the line (thankfully, as I use it for painting as well!)

I do have an in-line air oiler though... but never connect it up before your air line!!

Edited to add: the line air oiler has nothing to do with whether the compressor is oil free.. just thought I should add that so I dont confuse you.
