Compressor regulator and filter

[scotty95]

Broke down and bought a Quincy qt-54 air compressor. Which reguator/filter you all reccommend? I don't have too many air tools for a lubricator as of now. Thanks for any input..

When you say regulator/filter with a slash like that, does that mean you're looking specifically for a piggyback unit (filter and regulator all in one) or are you open to a separate regulator and filter setup? Depending how your distribution system is setup, it may favor one or the other. What level of filtration do you need? Are you just running air tools or are you sandblasting/painting/plasma cutting?

Domnick Hunter, Norgen, Wilkerson, Parker, SMC, Watts, and any compressor OEM branded ones... most any brand is good enough, just buy something you can readily get replacement elements for. Even the cheap Chinese Wilkerson knock offs will probably work fine.

Just running air tools and air for my train horns. Looking at northern tool aro brand for $97. Same one at grainger is twice the price.
