He's located in Roanoke, TX, which is just a little bit north and west

Just a quess but with "The Hartzell ASC-II uses carbon and Kevlar materials
" I am guessing somewhere closer to the Aerocomposite costs versus an MT
cost.

Guys,

| Subject: | Compressor Recommendation |
Hi
I am starting to set up an area in my garage that I can use as a
workshop.
The only power I have in the garage is a single 15 amp circuit. This
powers
a fridge, a freezer as well as lights, power receptacles and the garage
door
opener.
I have a single breaker slot open on my power panel and plan to run an
additional circuit. Assuming I run all my intermittent use tools (band
saw /
drill press) off the new circuit, will the new 15 AMP 110V circuit be
sufficient for a compressor as well. If so can anyone recommend an
appropriate compressor given that I will not be painting? I have read
about
the Husky VT6315 from Home Depot on the list, but am wondering if this
is
overkill for my needs. I have also read that some 15 amp compressors
can
cause breaker trips.
Any guidance most welcome.

Les,
A single 15A circuit will handle a good compressor. I have a single
15A circuit for the compressor I have, which I bought 10 years ago; Its
a 20 Gal. "5 HP" Coleman Black Max oil lubed, belt driven compressor
which then cost me about $500; Prices are very similar today.
I put "5HP" in quotes since its not really 5HP.. The marketing folks did
their spin on it. The 5HP is really the power produced at the moment of
the motor stalling. If it were really 5HP... Lets see: 5HP = 3,728
Watts divided by 115v equals 32.4 AMPS !!!
As for breaker trips, most can be avoided by not using undersized wire
from your breaker panel, and also not using any extension cord.
Watch out for similar "marketing" information when looking for a compressor.

I bought one from Harbor Freight for $149 that is a 21 Gallon upright with
3HP motor. It's pretty quiet and has worked for me for the past 9 months.
It handles riveting tasks with no problem. If I'm drilling a lot of think
aluminum (like the longerons) it does kick on quite a bit, but it keeps up.
The die grinder slows down some if I'm using a lot. That said, like
everything from Harbor Freight,it's not the greatest quality but it works
just fine (I do love my pop rivet puller from them though).
I thought about investing in a higher quality compressor since I was going
to use it all the time, but I chose to put my money into a great Sioux
drill, two ATS Rivet guns, and Main Squeeze rivet squeezer from Cleveland..

Les, 15A is fine for most home 2-stage oiled compressors, but I'm not sure
you want it on with everything else. I used to have mine on with the shop
lights and they didn't like it when it'd come on. I finally found an outlet
that had less constant usage and everybody was happy. I bet if your fridge
and freezer started their compressors about the same time your compressor
kicked in you'd be heading for the panel. But how often would that be?
Might be something to live with.
I got a CH one on sale at Sears (floor model). Similar to this guy. I
think I got it at $100 off, so it was to good a deal to pass up. I've been
very happy with it.

If it were me, I'd put in a 20A breaker and run 12 Ga. wire. The cost
difference is pennies since you're going to add the circuit anyway.
Remember what you're protecting: the wire. There are a couple of
reasons that the 15A breakers kick ..... they're operating on the edge
of their capability and may also have smaller wire in the circuit. My
recommendations would be to get a 220 compressor, 10Ga. wire, and
piggyback that on the smallest 220 breaker you have. A good size tank
is preferable too. I don't know offhand what size my tank is, but it is
a 6 HP upright tank model from Home Depot and cost me $300. Probably a
little highter now :-( . If you get a bigger compressor, then you'll
never get caught short down the road when you need the air. I wish I
had pictures of the two guys locally that manifolded two little 1 HP
compressors together to get enough air!!!

Les,
I have a 1/2 hp belt driven compressor on a 10 gallon tank that has served me very
well. I have air plumbed to both a basement workshop (Wings / Emp) and to
the garage (Fuselage). It's rated at 1 CFM @ 100 PSI. It won't paint, but runs
3/8 rachet with no problems at all. The 1/2 inch impact is a bit of a stretch
for it. I even put a muffler on the air intake to make it really quiet.
The rivet gun (2x) and air nailers don't tax it at all.
Other tools include a 1 in belt sander (Bench top mounted on a pedistal), 6" grinder
with a scotchbrite wheel and a 12" table top band saw. It's unlikely you
will be using more than one at a time (Unless you have lots of help).
Just a data point for consideration.

Subject: RV10-List: Compressor Recommendation
Hi
I am starting to set up an area in my garage that I can use as a workshop.
The only power I have in the garage is a single 15 amp circuit. This powers
a fridge, a freezer as well as lights, power receptacles and the garage door
opener.
I have a single breaker slot open on my power panel and plan to run an
additional circuit. Assuming I run all my intermittent use tools (band saw /
drill press) off the new circuit, will the new 15 AMP 110V circuit be
sufficient for a compressor as well. If so can anyone recommend an
appropriate compressor given that I will not be painting? I have read about
the Husky VT6315 from Home Depot on the list, but am wondering if this is
overkill for my needs. I have also read that some 15 amp compressors can
cause breaker trips.
Any guidance most welcome.

Jim,
Please don't take this wrong, but...are you being serious?
I can't tell if you're joking and being facetious, or if
you really are using a 1/2 hp on a 10 gallon tank. I can't
for the life of me imagine using that if you are using
it for an air drill doing countersinking, or using a die
grinder. But, you mention ratchet and impact wrenches....
and those I'm sure would work fine for quick jobs.

You can splice J-channel with no problem. Butt 2 pieces together and overlap
a splice strip about 5 rivet on each side. Treat it as a repair and use the
FAA Acceptable Methods book.

LOLOLOL....compressor wars!!!
I have a 5hp/ 26 gal oilless Coleman from Costco, loud as crap, works great except
for massive drilling and die grinding. If I had to do it all over I would
get a 220 powered two cylinder oiled model with a big upright tank that would
be heading into the hangar when I'm done, now my Coleman will stay in the garage
for tires and I'll buy a nice quiet one for the hangar for me and me mates.

Hi Les,
FWIW this is the unit I am using. I am running it off a single 15A
circuit with no troubles. I can run a few other small items off the
same circuit at the same time, but nothing much bigger without nuisance
trips. The compressor itself has been great running drills, cut-off
tool, etc. It is also fairly quiet, as compressors go. I'm working in
an attached garage, and with the door closed you can hardly hear the
compressor in the house. I highly recommend it.

Good used secondary storage tanks help in smoothing the demand on the
compressor. Unless you are rotary sanding composite structures for long
periods of time, the smaller residential compressor can fill both the
primary and a backup secondary tank quite well. Remember to have
adequate, multiple filters in the system to remove condensate.

Tim,
I am serious, It has worked for me so far. I will confess to not using an air
drill or air die grinder. I used an electric drill and die grinder. Those will
use substantially more air. My drill is not the normal slow turning electric
drill. I have always kept extra new bits and if I detect any dull bits, I
grab a new one. I have always deburred the holes and they seem to come out fine.
My tech couselor has been checking my work and he has not pointed me to the
air drill.
I know that runs against the grain for a lot of folks. Air drill vs electric is
almost like the engine and primer wars.
Based on the other responses for Les, I think putting in the 20 amp breaker, using
the larger wire, and going air tools all the way is the best answer. My
compressor has served me well for it being as small as it is. And it's really
quiet.

Hi Everyone
Many thanks for all the informative replies. Based on my review of the
archives and the comments received, I will go with the Husky.
