Trying to find the right compressor for my shop. I plan on getting a cnc plasma some time soon, I am setting 10 cfm @ 90# aside to make sure that I have enough air. So ideally I am looking for 20+ cfm. 208 3 phase. I would like to stay in the quincy family. I ordered a quincy qgs 7.5 rotary screw with dryer that came damaged and it will be going back shortly. My concern with the rotary screw is not running it constantly. I want something quiet, but am willing to make a enclosure to help with the noise. I looked at the xtreme line but I can make a room for less. I was also looking at duplex machines 5 HP swapping from pump to pump or both on for high consumption. I hope to run the plasma table a lot as you can tell.
Thanks guys

Take a look at the QR-25 series model 325 putting out 18.64 ACFM @ 175 psi or a model 340 pumping out a max of 29.65 ACFM @ 175 psi.

They have several run options, use a pressurized oiling system with a screw-on filter and will last forever. They are not cheap however but are available in a 3 phase option.....

With stuff that is built to last forever and run a high duty cycle, I look at used. Skipping some kind of enclosure would not be part of my plan.
