Subject: Re: Source of compresed air
You can use your vacuum cleaner for small chips. It will work well,
better than a compressor. Blowing out chips with a compressor has too
many downsides.

They sell 1/3 HP compressors the size of a milk jug. See
harborfreight.com.

I personally will soon offer a compressor for sale, a duplex Quincy
compressor, 240 gallon tank. capable of 100 CFM if you upgrade the
motors to 15 HP each. It needs a little TLC, however.
