I just have to jump in on this topic. I also used an electric cordless drill
for most of the drilling on my plane. I started off with an air drill and
like everyone else, the compressor had a hard time keeping up. I found a
Royobi drill on sale at Home Depot for $27.99 It was a two speed drill and
I still grab it when I need to do something even though the battery is about
dead.
If I had it to do over again, I would skip the air drill and buy two or
three ccordless drills and a couple of cordless screwdrivers. Here is a plug
for Avery's 1/4 hex shaft 1/4x24 adaptor. It fits into the screwdriver blade
socket of the cordless screwdriver. With the three flute reamer, it makes
the best deburring tool arround. It will also accept all the countersink
bits, I have worn out my Balck & Decker screwdriver on this project.
One thing that I have noticed since drilling slower, the bits seem to last a
lot longer.

Yes,
I can not tell the difference in holes drilled by either drill.

A picture of my favorite drill can be seen at http://www.woodturnerscatalog.com/template/235-8000.html
The one I use is an older model with a hard plastic case.
Milwakee makes one that looks the same but only goes to 1250 RPM.
Its expensive, but a quality tool.
Found on first page of a Google search. Further search may get a better price.

Well somebody needs to speak out on behalf of the poor, unappreciated, super
compressors of the world. So I guess its up to me to either step forward or
stomp on my air hose. A "real" aircraft mechanic uses all sorts of drills and
absolutely must be within one arms reach of at least three models at any given
time. Furthermore, he/she must have an equal number of right-angle and flexible
attachments with chucks of the micro and macro variety, none of those sissy
chuckless types please. Well OK, but only for deburring in your pocket sized
electric screwdriver-drill. As for the compressor, just try to blow away all
those shavings with the lame breeze produced by your Black and Decker. NOT.
A
compressor serves so many useful purposes that I have on numerous occasions
stated my firm belief that ALL men, sorry ladies, should be provided with a
compressor of at least 60 gallons as soon as they are weaned. My faithful
compressor, a pearl blue, two-stage, 8hp upright, 220, stands at the ready with
110psi of pure clean oiless air (yes they make oil separators), 24 x 7 x 364
1/4. It's been wired into my house breaker panel for the last twenty years and
ain't even got no stinkin' on/off switch. I use it for drilling, riveting,
sanding, cutting, grinding, sandblasting, vacuming, dusting, sweeping the
driveway, washing the cars, inflating stuff, starting the siphon, clearing ice,
drying off the Harley's, painting, polishing, sweeping the floors, chasing away
stray animals, and other stuff that's none of yer darn business; sheeeit, I can
even comb the crumbs from my beard with it. Try that with a stinkin cordless
drill! Compressor fans stand united! Noise? NOISE? It's music to my ears
and I get chills down the neckbone whenever I approach a shop with a singing
compressor! I can ignore those bothersome phone calls, don't have to listen to
nagging or afternoon soaps. My baby is mounted on rubber isolation cushions so
the house doesn't quiver and she won't walk around. As for oil spray from the
drill, I don't oil my tools and never have. Once in a great while one will
lock up and I toss it in the junk drawer. Tools are expendable, my compressor
is not. I hope to be burried by a pneumatic backhoe!
So there! Back to riveting... G

Geese guys,
All this talk about noisy oil less or quieter oil bath type compressors
has finally gotten to me and must add my 2 cents worth.. I have both
types and when it comes to air tool use, the oil bath type beats the
other noisy and slow beast hands down. In fact I've got this loud oil
less compressor (headache machine) that I think needs a new
home...perhaps the miserable guy down the street who is always asking me
"your not really going to fly that are you". Yes that's it.

Gents,
Forgive my ignorance. I have a SpeedAir 20 gal 2 cylinder compressor. It
has oil in the crankcase, but I do think this is considered an "oil bath"
type compressor is it?

Gary,
Thanks for your thoughts. I knew I would spark some interesting responses
to my email. Yours ranks up there with the best. Even though I use an
electric drill (and darn proud of it) I do see many uses for a large air
compressor besides drilling. However, many builders may not have the right
space or environment for one of those big boys. I have a 20 gal 2 cylinder
110 vac portable that lived through the riveting of my RV-4. I really
thought about replacing it for the "mega" unit, but I would rather save up
for the 12x36 metal lathe that is on my wish list at this time.
I can rock out to my favorite CD and drill at the same without a headset.
Can you say the same for you air powered turbine driven screaming hand
machine.
Paul

Dang I think I have compressor envy. 220 v but only a
20 gallon tank and I still can't rivet fast enough to
justify the big one.
So what did you do give the compressor a day off every
year? 364 1/4
Well enough of this I should be riveting.
