I am putting together a new basement shop and I need a new compressor. I now have a 12 gallon Campbell Hausfeld on wheels. It works well but runs often and very loudly. I use it often for power sanding on turning. I am planning on upgrading to a bigger unit. I saw a 50 gallon, 220 volt, at Lowes for about $500. Would this be a good way to go? I plan on running two lines. One with a filter dedicated to water based finishes and blowing off. I would use the other for lubricating air tools.
Any ideas welcome.
