Hello,
After (years of) deliberating industrial machines I finally pulled the trigger. I have a new, fairly vanilla, Brother S500X1 on the way. To start, I'm renting a bit of available space in a semi-communal type shop. Unfortunately there's no air available. Therefore I'm looking for a temporary use (cheap) air compressor with a small footprint just to get started. I believe the Brother uses 45L/min at 0.4 - 0.6 MPa or about 1.6cfm at ~70-90 PSI - I understand this is continuous while running? I believe I read a while back that another Brother user/forum member burned out a 2hp California Air compressor in rather short order. For my situation of light use while I finish out design work and prototyping, could one of these compressors, or the likes of, work temporarily for ~12 months at 15-20 hours/week of machine-on time?
Thanks
