Shed Planning: You’re First Air Compressor

admin — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 12:22:23 +0000

I know when I purchased my first air compressor (and my only compressor to date) for some reason I was very excited. It was like it was a major component of a well run workshop and it just seemed like such a versatile tool. So I took stock of what I would be using the air compressor for. I knew for sure I wanted that nozzle to be able to blow the dust off the machines and sanded projects in the workshop shed. And of course there was inflating of tires and basketballs and air mattresses but most importantly I wanted to be able to drive my pneumatic tools.

I knew I had to buy a compressor big enough to power not only my small nailer but tools like air-powered sanders and spray equipment. I took my time and investigated the air consumption of those tools and then shopped for an air compressor that would be able to produce enough compressed air to drive them. I now know that it is best to choose an air compressor that will generate at least 20 percent more air than the hungriest tool.

There are quite a variety of air compressors available. There are single stage and two stage models with different horsepower and delivery ratings that signify the output power of the compressor. Because our homes (in North America, anyway) are wired for 120 volt output you certainly want to purchase a machine that runs on that voltage so you can simply plug it into a wall outlet. A good size air compressor to purchase would be a 5 to 6 horsepower machine. This will be large enough to power any pneumatic tool that you will use in your own home workshop. The tanks on this size machine will be in the 25 to 28 gallon range which will supply enough compressed air so that your machine is not constantly cycling and you can run more than one tool at a time. Make sure that your compressor has more than one outlet so that you are able to run more than one tool. Also be sure that there is a pressure gauge that will measure more than 135 psi.

A good thing to remember too is to read the manufacturers manual. There are always good tips on how best to keep your machine in top notch working order. You will want to bleed the air tank after each days use because moisture does condense in the tank and will cause rusting that will eventually ruin the tank. Always check the pressure safety valve ring to make sure it is operating at its peak performance.
