Not meant for a "pro grade or business" but they have been great for daily home use of air tools.

Get a quiet compressor

If not then like coach said, min 5hp and min 80 gallon tank, and bigger on both accounts if you have the $$$

Agree 5hp 80 gal min. Don't get an oil less, very noisy as stated. Rotary screws are awesome but not cheap. I'm moving away from air for everything possible. Obviously some things you just can't avoid it but I try. 18v Milwaukee tools are amazing these days!
If you are not running a business needing air, shop carefully. Screws are great but expensive to operate occasionally. 5hp with a 80 gal tank will do a lot, but don't cheap out. :twocents:

Looks good. But what about delivery costs?
There is a new Tractor Supply in Longview. Take a look at this one, maybe shipping to their store would be cheaper. :twocents:

I put a Kaeser shop air system in our California facility. Absolutely the best money I've ever spent on a shop replacement or improvement. Zero water, zero fluctuation in pressure regardless of the number of users, and so quiet you don't even realize its running. When you install one with a Smart Line TM tech system it doesn'tt require air storage tanks.
We had 5 Kaeser compressors (total) in 4 of our production buildings. Keep up with the routine maintenance and you'll have very few problems. We used the smart pipe in one section, but used existing with tanks in others.

I would think this one would be great, 24cfm at 90 would be nice. We have a portable 2hp 30 gallon Ingersoll at work so far its been a great compressor and very quiet.

I should also add that my neighbor keeps his portable air tanks hooked up so they are always charged and add another 15 gallons of capacity.

We built a small insulated room off the side of our shop to house it. Louvers high and low for airflow, then plumbed into the shop.
MUCH quieter operation, only a slight hum when running. We have offices in our shop so noise was a concern. Worked so well I did the same at home. Nothing worse than that thing firing up in the middle of a conversation.

We went with one fro Grizzly, I don't recommend it. It's been OK but have had a few minor issues that are frustrating to deal with.

No problems with condensation and water in the lines coming from outside into the building? We had to use a fairly large dryer on a similar setup.

No, but only because we have a dryer system as well.
