I have a large capacity, stationary 80 gallon tank air compressor in my shop. While it is a hoss, It is terribly loud and requires hearing protection when it runs.
I have been toying with the idea of getting a small, quiet compressor for the air needs for my mill and lathe (power drawbar, Fogbuster, air nozzle, . . . ). I ran across the California Air Tools compressors and took note.
I am considering one that is light and portable with aluminum hot dog tank(s). They do make some larger tank models with steel tanks but they make several models with aluminum tanks and this is the one I've had my eye on. It is 1 hp, 4 cfm at 40 psig, 60 db, 4.6 gallon, 44 lbs. (Model 4610ALFC)
Any folks out there that have experience with them?
