I just pulled the trigger on a 2year old Atlas Copco LF5 FF compressor with 500liter (132 gallon) receiver and air dryer.
Compressor looks to be in near new condition
I paid a bit more (auction fever) than I was expecting, but still only 1/3rd of new price.
Question: Is an oil free compressor overkill for general shop use and running CNC machines? Compressed air is only compressed air, or is it?
Being an oil free compressor, does that not compromise reliability or longevity?
