Hey All,
Pretty new here and have a question right off the bat. I'm setting up a small shop in my garage and was about to pull the trigger on quincy 5HP 2 stage piston compressor. Then a great deal showed up on craigslist of a quincy 5HP screw compressor with a built in refrigerated dryer still on the pallet asking about 75% the cost of a new one. I'm going to be using the air for a small blast cabinet mainly and few air tools at first, but within a few years I'd like to get a CNC mill as the finances allow.
It would be about $1500 more for the setup, but it would include the dryer (right now I'm about to spend $2k for the new piston setup). Would that be a good choice? Right now I'm looking at it as buying a compressor I could eventually grow out of vs buying a compressor that I would eventually grow into.
What are your thoughts and opinions on the matter.
