How Many Players have a Small Air Compressor = 100PSI??

[GRimm]

I have a shop compressor in my garage, I believe mine goes up to 120 psi.

I have a small air compressor (finish carpentry type) at my in-laws. If it saved me around $100 off the price of a full build version I would use it. If the savings is much less then that then I would rather have a full system...

[tribalman]

If that is the kind you run air tools on I have one

i have this type too. but i'd work my butt off to get the proper items.

The compressor we have at home is loud.

Got one in the shop for tools....

[om3n]

I have one that goes up to 120 psi.

[flyingpootang]

I have a 50 gallon and a 5 gallon that will do 120....

[XM15]

I have nice 35 gal stand up 150 psi one for running my air tools and my sandblast cabinet.

got one

I have the ability to get access to one, but not everyday anytime of the day. Possibly make two different versions? The biggest thing would be the price difference between the two, if you could buy the one stage and a compressor for cheaper than the 3 stage then theres not gunna be too much of a market for the 3 stage (except for people who don't have the space for a compressor or noise constraints.

EDIT: Removed unrelated question.

I'll see you, and raise 50. 150 psi here! lol

[PaintballEngineer]

I think this should be a poll

Agreed, start a poll! Make it easier on your self Tom :)

[fishmishin]

I have 3 compressors here at home.

My question is, do you need the 100psi for for a supply, or to drive the mini pump ?

[Looper]

I have a shop compressor, but I could probably afford the complete unit just to keep it in one package.

Questions:
Will the addition of a shop compressor extend the life of the Mini-HPA-Compressor?

What duty cycles are we looking at, would we need to run the shop compressor 100% or the time?

What would be the optimal size storage tank on the shop compressor to reduce duty cycles.

BTW, awesome work and thanks for just being around.

I think that there are a few issues to work out. By using two separate units, it might be less wear and tear. If Tom can focus on just the final stage, the unit might fill faster and work better. I think that most people are in agreement that if they have a compressor, this is better for them, and if they don't, then as long as the cost of a basic compressor AND the mini pump that Tom is making is about the same as getting an all in one package, they would buy it.

Personally, I think that having something that works off of a shop compressor is better. Now I have an excuse to by air tools
