Largest 110v compressor

In reply to impulsive:

Dual voltage is a good choice, as you can start with 115v and switch to 230v when it's available. The compressor in your picture also has both start and run capacitors, which is a good feature.

What do you guys think of This machine. I am looking at it for my plasma table that uses a hypertherm 85. Thoughts? Plasma specs

Sorry for the thread jack

2 or 3 pancake compressors with 5psi different settings will supply a heck of a lot of air for cheap on 110v. Noisy buggers though....

National Electrical Code states that circuits should not be loaded to more than 80% of their ampere rating. So a 20 amp circuit should not be loaded to more than 16 amps. Wattage is Amps X Volts so 16 X 120v is 1920 watts. That is more than 1 hp. A compressor with a 1 hp motor should be able to supply you with enough air for much of your shop work. Having said that, all of the things said in previous post about tank size, etc do apply. A large tank will give you some reserve capacity but, sometimes you may have to wait for the compressor to catch up for more air. That's obviously not good when spray painting. But small spray jobs could be done. Other considerations are what else will you be running on that circuit. (as others have already said). I would save the money and wait till you can run a 240v circuit.

Slightly better for less money, Kobalt 60 Gallon. After A LOT of research for a <$500 compressor it's what I chose, and am happy. 60 Gallons at 155 PSI is a lot of air, and it's slightly more CFM at 90 PSI than the one you linked.

When I got mine I used a 10% off change of address coupon from the post office, and got a Lowe's card with 0% interest for 6 months, so it was a little easier on the bank account.
