 There are likely multiple good companies that sell compressors. We aren't compressor-experts so likely there are better options, if you know any, simply add them below! There are likely multiple good companies that sell compressors.

-First, we looked at what the MDC distributor suggested! [[http://​www.manncorp.com/​air-compressors/​panther/​|Manncorp suggests the "​Panther PC106" for $2400]] This machine is almost certainly drop-shipped direct from Werther, the US distributor of the "​PC106"​ ({{:​accessories:​pc106.pdf|PC106 Datasheet}}). We got a quote for the compressor of $1500. Freight was another $150 or so as its rather heavy and they don't ship via UPS.+First, we looked at what the MDC distributor suggested!

-The PC106 is actually the "​Compact 106" from [[http://​www.fiac.it/​main_eng.asp|FIAC,​ an Italian manufacturer]]. Their USA distributor is [[http://​www.werther.com|Werther]] International. So basically, a $500 compressor is sold to Werther for $800 who sells it for $1500 to Manncorp who sells it to you for $2400. Yay middlemen! :)+The PC106 is actually the "​Compact 106" from [[http://​www.fiac.it/​main_eng.asp|FIAC,​ an Italian manufacturer]].

 [[http://​www.werther.com|Werther]] has a few oil-free compressors they sell that will do the job, [[http://​www.werther.com/​products/​Oil-Free-Compressors/​ProductList.html?​search=1&​strCriteria=0&​HCatid=5&​strSearch=category&​cboSelCategory=5&​category=5&​va=1| so check the list of "Oil free compressors"​]]. ​ [[http://​www.werther.com|Werther]] has a few oil-free compressors they sell that will do the job, [[http://​www.werther.com/​products/​Oil-Free-Compressors/​ProductList.html?​search=1&​strCriteria=0&​HCatid=5&​strSearch=category&​cboSelCategory=5&​category=5&​va=1| so check the list of "Oil free compressors"​]]. ​
