| | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 45 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 45 | I'm trying to make up my mind between one of three different compressors and need some help. The first is a Ingersoll-Rand 60gal tank with a 5Hp motor single stage. The second is the Husky 60gal tank two stage. The third is a craftsman 60gal tank two stage.
I know the two stage is quiter than the single but just how much. Is it better to go with the two stage over the better brand? They all three have almost the same cfm ratings. I do want a quite compressor but how much of a difference is there really? Any other reasons to go with a two stage besides noise and heat?

Also stay away from the oiless type if you plan on doing a lot of work that requires a high runrate on the compressor' they have a tendacy to wear out if they cycle too often.

If you are going to run a bead or sand blaster, these compressors will never be adequate. For small hobbiest and do it your selfer, they will get you by. Go to this link and read what he has to say. He gives a lot of information about these "brands". Call this guy. He can answer your questions and he builds great compressors. I'll swear by them. http://www.eatoncompressor.com/page/page/504413.htm | | |
