Air Compressor Help
Sears have two 60 gallon Compressors that are in my budget:
Single Stage
Oil Lube
SCFM @ 40psi 12.4
SCFM @ 90psi 10.2
Belt drive
$449.99
Two stage
Oil Free
SCFM @ 40psi 9.6
SCFM @ 90psi 9.0
Direct drive
$549.99
I want to use for about everything including paint.

Re: Air Compressor Help (Bill Hanna)
Always go for the oil lubricated belt driven one..... I just don't know why it is cheaper than the direct drive one in this case.
The direct drives are friggin noisy and wear out fairly fast. I know, I have one. I've put a new cylinder and piston ring in it once and it needs it again(mind you the rebuild kit only cost $40).
