I am coming to a point in my shop where air usage is going to be a huge problem.
I have a Haas VF-0 that requires a minimum of 95 psi, and I have a new VF-2SS coming in, in a few weeks that will require 100 psi. Right now I'm not even sure if the air compressor I have will even kick in before dropping below 100 psi. I have a Husky 7hp 60 gallon compressor and a Campbell Hausfeld 6hp 60 gallon compressor.
Air usage with air guns has always been a problem as well. If the air compressor is on the bubble for kicking in to make air, and someone uses the air gun for an extended period of time to clean off parts, it will throw an alarm on the VF-0 and shut it down due to low air pressure. It's a huge pain in the ass.
Moving into the new shop we came into another air compressor so one will be for the machine only and the other for air guns only. That will eliminate that problem, but not so sure it will be enough to run both machines if they are changing tools at the same time using the air blast and the compressor is on the low end of the psi before kicking in.
This is one of the first ones I saw on ebay just now. Have no clue if it's a piece of crap or not, and I don't have money growing on tree's like david, so a Kaiser is probably untouchable for me right now. Plus, to be honest....I would not know good brand names from lousy ones, so please........educate me about rotary screw compressors so I can make an informed decision before buying and being stuck with something I will regret.
Best Regards,
Russ
