Finally broke down and bought a suitable air compressor for the shop. I went with the 3.7 HP 220v 60 gallon Kobalt compressor. Ran me $499 from Lowe's. Comes with a 3 year warranty with on-site repair. This IS a rebadged Campbell Hausfeld. The shipping label on the box came directly from them to Lowe's. They have recently upgraded their motors from AO Smith to Marathon (the same ones as the Ingersoll Rand compressors have) 100% cast iron compressor is a major plus with these. Also went with the Campbell Hausfeld Regulator/Filter/Oiler system. Tractor Supply sells these for $140. I bought the same exact one on Amazon for $69 shipped. I also upgraded all of my air fittings to 3/8". The shop I work for has them set up this way and you NEVER break the nipples off like the 1/4" ones. Once I get it hooked up and running, I will update this.
