[QUOTE="Junior00, post: 16389617, member: 30475"] For your described parameters and budget I'd honestly go with something like the Quincy QT-54. We had one as backup at the old shop and it ran well. Personally I prefer a pressure lube but that's out of the budget range you prescribed. So here's the thing, the motor should be just fine to handle whatever you want to do. I would figure out what your max cfm requirements will be (this goes for any compressor you choose) and then pulley it down to that if it isn't there from the factory IF noise is an issue and you also want to eliminate additional wear and tear, heat, etc. For instance, the QT uses a pump rated at a minimum of 550 rpm and max of 1420. 6.4 cfm @ min & 15.2 cfm @ max. As I said earlier, I pulley swapped mine to get around 900 rpm which would be roughly 10 cfm for you (my pump is larger so ~13 for mine I believe). For most, and being you're probably not going to have multiple tools going at the same time, it might be a good compromise. Hope that makes sense. Driers, aftercoolers, automatic drains, etc. can be added later if you need it and when the budget allows. [/QUOTE]
