well ..
thats true ...
my current garage has 220V Dual Phase with 100A service in it :) ( soon =
upgarding to 600VA )
i sort of forgot that no everybody is as big f a car nut as i am ...
as long as i'm fooling around with ANY car im happy ( most of the time =
with H's from the store in other words a customers car )
but i have close to 20K in tools and which also include a nice =
collection of MAC tools and a 200A Miller MIG/TIG welder :)=20
( i dont want to pay someone to do simple stuff that i already know how =
to do ... and besides if i mess up theres no one else that i can blame )
all im missng right now ( and ghonna get really soon ;) ) is a =
Bridgeport and a Lathe / CNC
then Im gonna start makin custom parts for these lil toys of ours ... =
like billet under drive pulleys, billet valve covers ( maybe with a lil =
custom engravin on top of them ), 2 piece aluminum flywheels, brake =
addapters ( if someone is willing to let me borrow theirs to "duplicate" =
the design )
and so on ..

How much do you have to spend?
$200?
$2000?
Get the biggest one you can afford/have room for.
Stay away from offshore manufacturers(this means avoiding retailers =
like Harbor Freight), you can't go wrong with an American-made unit. =
Don't be afraid of Sears.
Do you have 220V service for a really big one? If you are limited to =
110VAC, then that may be a factor.
Tools? Chicago Pneumatic. Aros. Or, again, "Made in USA "is still a =
good sign. It also depends on how much use you will be giving those =
tools....If you will only use them once every three years, then a =
Chinese/Taiwanese tool may give you satisfactory service (i.e. you die =
before it breaks)
Have fun! (and please wear eye protection)
Larry

Subject: Air Compressor - what to buy?
Hi all, I just got a nice unexpected bonus and was thinking an air
compressor would be a nice thing to buy. What brands should I look =
at and
what specs should I look for? Upright or horizontal? Who makes =
good tools
for the air compressor and are there any brands of tools or =
compressors that
I should look out for? =20
