The Porter Cable Air Compressor Brand
There are quite a few types of Porter Cable Air Compressors available nowadays. The Porter Cable Air Compressor line of products is made by Porter-Cable - a business that has been around from 1906. The Porter Cable Air Compressors are part of the Porta-Cable brand of movable woodworking power tools. Porta-Cable makes its items in Jackson, Tennessee, along with sister company Delta. Porter-Cable and Delta became sister businesses in the year 1960, but they provide different products.
One of their offerings is the 25 Gallon Vertical Air Compressor Portable 60 Gallon Tank 175 PSI. This item features a 175 PSI - 60 gallon equivalent tank size. Its high capacity air regulator features a starting PSI of 145, which tops out at 175 PSI. This product has the top level of above average duty and sporadic tool operation in its class. It includes an oil-free design that is at once durable and low maintenance. It has a direct-drive twin cylinder. Its 120 volt induction and excellent torque motor has reliable starting function, as well.
Another of the Porter Cable Air Compressor models you might want to consider is the 20 Gallon Air Compressor 5.1 CFM @ 90 PSI model. This Porter Cable Air Compressor has a 175 PSI - 49 gallon equivalent tank size. Its high-flow air regulator starts at 145 PSI and ends at 175 PSI. This Porter Cable Air Compressor is built to match the strictest regulations of moderate-to-heavy work and sporadic tool usage in its class.

The ultimate Porter Cable Air Compressor model to consider is called the Oil Free Induction Side Stack Compressor. This appliance features 6.0 SCFM that enables its 4.3 gallon tank to recharge more quickly. More extensive tool run-time can be gained through the 150 PSI Max. 120 PSI cut-in pressure delivers 30 PSI 'Bonus Air' prior to rendering a 90 PSI tool totally defunct. Its 1.6 running HP induction motor was made for long-lasting performance.
