Default New Mod - To my garage.....

My dad borrowed my compressor about a week ago and I have been turning wrenchs old school. Tonight I brought home a new baby. 60 gallons and a bunch of air.


Now I need to run some flex and new circuit.

I think it was a 6 or 7 hp. I was shopping for CFM's when I bought it. I want to be able to run a sand blasting unit or a grinder without having to hear that thing run all the time.

Very nice. You may want to consider what I am planning on doing. I am going to run a 90 degree elbow from the drain fowl and then a section of pipe with a drain fitting in the end of that so it is easier to reach to drain water out of the tank.
