I bought oil already. Still working on the “permanent” installation; should have all the parts in later today. I’m going with Milton Highflow V fittings simply because I like the way the collar retracts and reconnecting is easy. I’m done with the leaky imported couplers.

Tall, thanks for the contribution but there’s no way I could justify a compressor of that size.

My last compressor was adequate for everything I asked of it. This one has a tank almost twice as big and the CFM ratings are much higher. I’m not using it commercially so if I have to wait for it occasionally that’s OK. Most- not all, but most of my air needs can be satisfied with a 2 gallon portable. I use it for clearing chips, driving brads and light shop duty far more than running air tools, painting, blasting, sanding and the like.
