Purchasing A Porter Cable Air Compressor

August 15th, 2008

There are many types of Porter Cable Compressors available nowadays. The Porter Cable Air Compressor line of items is produced by Porter-Cable – a company that has been in business since 1906. The Porter Cable Air Compressors are affiliated with the Porta-Cable brand of portable power tools for use in carpentry. Porta-Cable makes its products in Jackson, Tennessee, alongside its affiliated company Delta. Porter-Cable and Delta became sister businesses in the year 1960, but they give different items.

One of their offerings is the 25 Gallon Vertical Air Compressor Portable 60 Gallon Tank 175 PSI. This item has a 175 PSI and a tank that holds the equivalent of 60 gallons. Its high capacity air regulator has a starting PSI of 145, which tops out at 175 PSI. This product has the highest level of moderate-to-heavy duty and off and on tool operation among its competition. It has an oil-free design that is at once resilient and simple to care for. It has a direct-drive twin cylinder. Its 120 volt induction and excellent torque motor gives you reliable starting function, too.

Another of the Porter Cable Air Compressor models you might want to look at is the 20 Gallon Air Compressor 5.1 CFM @ 90 PSI model. This Porter Cable Air Compressor offers a 175 PSI – 49 gallon equivalent tank volume. Its high-flow air regulator starts at 145 PSI and reaches its capacity at 175 PSI. This Porter Cable Air Compressor is built to match the highest standards of moderate-to-heavy work and sporadic tool operation in its product category. Trustworthy starting can be provided by its 120 volt induction and high torque motor. Its “4 Pole” 1725 RPM motor guarantees an extended operational lifespan and brings down the level of noise emission. You gain remote air regulation plus control in the surrounding work area of the job site thanks to the remote “quadraport” station. This item also has a high-flow regulator and 4 quick connect units.

The final Porter Cable Air Compressors model to consider is called the Oil Free Induction Side Stack Compressor. This machine has 6.0 SCFM that enables its 4.3 gallon tank to recharge more quickly. More extensive window of tool usability is achievable because of the 150 PSI Max. 120 PSI cut-in pressure offers 30 PSI “Bonus Air” before rendering a 90 PSI tool totally defunct. Its 1.6 running HP induction motor was designed for long-lasting usage. It also includes push to connect couplers, a High-FloSM air regulator, and an oil-free pump that will never end in oil spillage; the pump needs absolutely no upkeep.
