Subject: RE: Looking for a good air compressor for new shop


I owned a tire shop for 22 years and bought many different
brands of compressors. You have 2 choices. Ingersoll Rand type 30 or Quincy brand. They run slower RPM's than most but put out as many CFM's as the higher speed units. The cheaper ones are real noisy because of the speed they turn. Get your compressor from a industrial dealer, not a big box stores selling a cheaper version of a name brand unit. Use the compressor oil recommended by the manufacturer, not motor oil. The Ingersoll Rand type 30 I bought used over 20 years ago and put in my tire shop is still in operation today. That thing would at times run 6+ hours a day, we were open 6 days a week. I have a Quincy in my farm shop. It is one I bought at one of the state of Iowa sales. It has a 1964 mfg date on it.
