Brain, Greg, 

After reading your helpful posts, I'll opt out of the portable dream. 

Thank you!

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. 

Good luck, 

Brian
