Probably a fine compressor. But do bear in mind that compressors of this type will make a LOT of noise. And it will also need a good power (electrical) source. This one is listed at 14 amps, and I don't know that it wouldn't trip some 15 amp breakers on startup, especially if something else were running on that same circuit. Would you be running this thing in a customer's home? (or church or school?) Or do you have a utility trailer set up like a portable shop? (That would be a neat idea.) Whatever you're cutting or buffing or sanding or (?) could also be messy. Just the thoughts that came to mind.

I'd prefer the compressor to be small & light enough to haul it with me to some jobs (I service a number of pianos 40 miles away and would like to do some work without having to haul the actions to my shop). Remembering the advantage of oil lubrication, I looked around and found this Dewalt compressor that is only slightly over 50 lbs. http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&q=dewalt+d55151&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=12994544970486292308&ei=-LssTPvwEo79nAezvcz0Ag&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CDYQ8wIwAg# Would this one be adequate?
