I saw the mitre saw thread and figured I'd ask you guys about air compressors. I've already done some research and want to go oil bath. It will be used for running a 1/2 impact mostly, blowing out the shop, and whatever other air toys I want to add to the stable.
I did buy a speedaire 20 gallon used on craigslist but found it had a hole in the tank as soon as I got it home. I drove right back and got my money back. Now im kinda leary of buying used but not sure if im justified in that thinking? I do have the shop wired for 220 so I can go either way. Should I look used or if new any suggestions? Is this one of those things where I should spend the big bucks or can I get by on a cheap compressor?
