It was wishfull thinking buying a cheap compressor for $160 thinking it was going to last.

My little direct drive 2 Hp unit just could not cut it any longer. Every time I required large amounts of air, it would run continuously at a less than satisfactory pressure. My advice is to spend a lot on a decent machine, it will save you money in the long run.

I decided to bite the bullet and dig deep for a reliable and powerfull compressor. I purchased a 3Hp Eagle with a 50 litre tank.

The continuous rated supply ability of this unit is 273 litres per minute at full pressure.

Now I am finally able to run the die grinder, spray gun and plasma cutter not all at once of course.
