I've had a cheap Bostich pancake compressor for a while now, and it's officially on its last leg. I've yet to take the leap into vacuum chucks and air powered tools, but I know it's only a matter of time(and money).
My question for you learned turners is this... What would you recommend in the way of a new compressor with the vortex in mind? Minimum HP, CFM, gallons?
I don't want to overspend, but I also don't want to find myself under-powered when I start looking into new air powered turning doodads.
