I bought a new larger compressor about 20 years ago, looking at 5 hp.vs 71/2 hp. The Salesman talked me out of the 71/2 and said the 5 would be just fine. He asked me just how often do you really need that 71/2, cause every time it starts and runs look at how many amps it's going to draw. I thought good point, bought a Schrader/Bridgeport from NAPA at one of their dealer shows, 5 hp, 80 gallon, plenty of air. I do run a pressure tank blaster with an 1/8 tip, rated at 1 square ft. per minute of paint removal, and on average that's close to what it will do. For me that's acceptable, use a blast cabinet also. lots of air tools and two can work and never run out of air. I do have a 30 gallon auxiliary plumbed in with the 80 for 120. In the evening when I'm sitting at the kitchen table, if I forget to shut the breaker off for the compressor, it will dim the lights slightly when it starts, will remind me to run out and hit the breaker, and I have plenty of juice to all the buildings. I'm glad I didn't buy a 7 1/2 hp compressor. Just my 2 cent.
