Yeah Pops, compared to yours I'm very light use. Thanks for the motor info, when I get back up north I'll check it out.

Over the years the biggest demands have been body work and bead blasting. I've purposely set myself up to keep body work to a minimum these days, so running the blast cabinet is the most air consuming thing this unit has seen. On occasion some painting projects have eaten lots of air, but not too often. Also, mine is not enclosed so cooling air flows easily, but being a single stage, high volume it doesn't make quite as much heat as some I've had in years gone by. I do miss the Kaeser I had at the shop, but a high volume screw unit like that would be WAAAYYYY overkill for home.
