Considering Harbor Freight Compressor 93274

Thanks Terry!

I'm searching for a 2 stage 60-80 gallon compressor. Won't have the cash for it for a few months, but looking at options. Craigslist may be the way to go...

Thanks for the information, folks. I'll keep my eyes open on CL. Didn't see anything that bowled me over, but it's going to be a few months before I'm ready for it. Problem with buying used for me is that I just don't have the background to tell if a big compressor is good to go or on its last legs. A lot of what I see on CL looks more like the latter than the former.

Still thinking about the big HF 93274. Getting that and one of their faultless warranties would probably work for what I need. I'm mostly interested in general home shop/woodworking support with very occasional media blast. Not that interested in automotive, so I'd never have a bunch of airtools running at the same time.
 
60 Gallon Devilbis or Ingersol at Tractor Supply 569.00, low noise. Oilless or direct drive compressors= too noisey. I have a Craftsman and it is way way way too loud even in an insulated box outside the shop on the far side, Momma can still hear it run and feel the vibration. Craftsman 549.00 so no money saved, just bought a lot of extra racket to try and dampen and get quiet. My neighbors probably don't appreciate it much either, Just a word of thought on my compressor buying experience when I bought my shop.

Any suggestions about others to check? This one is very attractively priced and is supposedly assembled in the US, compressor is Italian, tank is US, motor is US...at least according to one of the reviewers.

I've found these guys to be very helpful in providing all kinds of vibration isolating mounting devices. You might check out what they have that could help you:

That will more than likely be the one I get if CL doesn't pan out. I really want a 2 stage...

good for normal use. as for noise control that was your question. i always use hearing protection when i use mine, or any power equipment. but you can build an enclosure to help dampen the sound. line it with egg crate foam. or anything to help quite it down, fiberglass insulation etc. you wont get rid of all the noise but it will help dont close it off so it cant get air, or that you cant get into it easy. put carpet remnant on the floor and wall behind it, to help deaden sound reflection off surfaces too.

good luck

I have a 60gal husky from homedepot. 14.5cfm and was less then 800 220 single ph. I burnt up the pressure switch contact running it constant on the sand blaster. But it works well for the price and switch was 20 bucks. Been running 2yrs now
I have the same one. Been lightly run for 5 years now with no problems. I do push it pretty hard sometimes running my blast cabinet!
