In the market for an air compressor

[LONGHAIR]

Either if the IRs that have been linked would be great in a home shop, but be aware that there is more to it than just the compressor itself.
You really need to look into getting 220v service into the garage too. You are not going to find an adequate unit in the 110v range. Some attention should also go toward the air lines, drops and fiter/seperator.

If you are going to use it hard (running a lot) it is best to keep the filter/seperator a fair distance from the compressor itself. This extra distance in the lines allows the air to cool more before it hits the filter/seperator. The cooler air holds less water, so it drops out of suspension and gets caught. If you try to filter it while it is too hot, the water falls out later in your lines and comes out the hose/tools.
Also, you need a flexible connection between your compressor and the wall-mounted lines. The vibration will crack something otherwise.

Looking like I should be placing my order for an air compressor by the end of next week. I'm liking the 60g and 80g IR's that TSC sell. Outside of total volume of the tank is there any benefit of spending the $200 extra to go to the 80? I've never painted anything in my life and truthfully don't know how often I'll be using the air compressor. I just don't know if the 80g is overkill or more of a, you're gonna be sorry that you didn't spend the extra money to get it? Thanks!
