Using a portable
air compressor is a great way
to finish your projects away from your shop.
If you have made a project that needs to be installed
or assembled on site, a portable air compressor
will provide you with all the pressure you need
to run your wood working air tools. A portable
air compressor gives you many more options when
working on your projects. In fact, many hobby
wood workers use a portable air compressor as
their primary compressor.
Portable
air compressors come in many different sizes.
There are two variables to consider when purchasing
a portable air compressor. The first is the
horsepower and type of engine used. Most portable
air compressors are electric, although some
models come with small gas engines for even
greater flexibility. The more horsepower a portable
compressor has, the more high pressure air you
will have available on demand. A low horsepower
portable air compressor will take longer to fill
its air tank – the second variable in portable
air compressors. If you use a larger air tank,
the compressor engine will not have to work as
often to keep the pressure up. On the other hand,
a smaller air tank will be more portable, and
will pack plenty of punch for most hobby projects.
