What are you using for an Air Compressor

I need a new compressor for pressure casting.
I know what I want but I need the minimum size I can get away with.
What are people using?

 

I'm using an Iwata colt hx4004

They're just compensating Kirkland . . . REAL MEN don't need big compressors!

 

We are talking about compressors for pressure casting kirkland, you're measly airbrush compressor won't get any bubbles out of my resin.

 

Whoops...!! Sorry. I mis-read.

now I want a bigger compressor too...!

 

I wish i could just use my Iwata but it wouldn't keep up. I need something with a tiny footprint.
Unfortunately Sears won't warranty air compressors.

 

You need Pancake Power: http://www.harborfreight.com/3-gallon-1 ... 95275.html

 

Uh Oh, if you own property you should shop larger tanks sizes and consider acquiring some air tools. Paint gun, nail gun, pressure washer... just a few of the game changers that await.

 

A pancake compressor is what I'm looking at.
I don't own any property and had a big compressor I sold to move here. I wish I had a bunch of air tools. That would be nice.
I think I decided on a CH pancake compressor. I just need to find room for it.

 

Don't forget to scour your local craig's list for freebies. Bulky gear like that will pass thru hands freely.
