30-40 gallon compressor in Canada?

[toofart]

I currently have an 11 gallon oil-less compressor and want to go bigger. I don't paint cars, but I'm getting into fab work more, and the small unit doesn't keep up to air cutters and sanders.

I have a 51" tall location for it, so I'm looking for a 30-40 gallon piston unit that is either short (if vertical) or a horizontal unit. I think a 60 gal. would be overkill for my needs. I have 240V20A and 120V20A both dedicated to that location.

But where do I find such a compressor in Canada?

Princess auto has a 30 gal "Sanborn" which will fit. I could wait for it to go on sale, but I don't know the brand too well.

Global Industrial has a few, like a CH and an IR unit... But the shipping?

Home Depot has an Industrial Air 30 gal which looks promising. Specs look good, could wire it 240 if I want, will fit space, price looks OK...

So I'm asking my Canuck brothers... where / how'd you get your air?

Across the river from Ottawa, on the Quebec side.

Napa sells ingersoll rand...so you can get their full line up. Get a 60 gallon if you can, cutters and sanders take a ton of air.

I've been wanting something like this or a 26gal with similar specs. Basically they look like motor and pump are like most 3hp 60gal units, but with a smaller tank. For my use I can always add a second storage tank and a shutoff valve, and have flexibility not to run it so long to charge it up for small jobs. Problem is you can get 60gal units quite a bit cheaper and more easily, so I haven't bought one yet, but will probably end up with the 60gal.

There are 20gal units out there too, most kick out about 4 or 5cfm. Not necessarily bad, I've actually been quite impressed at how well a compressor that size can keep up with my Dad's Princess Auto HVLP paint gun (not crazy intensive use, but still...), but for something like die grinding it would be really nice to have a bigger pump.

So if you find something, do post about it, I for one am curious...

matthew, you're right... They put a 240v 3hp motor on the smaller tank. Global has the 26 gal version here for much cheaper:

That might just be the ticket.
