what i didnt say but is important is to get one that has the capability to go up to 120psi. many cannot.
also, the volume of air flow needs to be in the 1.5cut ft per minute range.
the other thing is current draw. you have to make sure you stay in the range that the compressor wont kick the circuit breaker off at start up. (start up is drawing 2-3x operating current called LRA, locked rotor amps)
lastly, the other difference between the oil and oil-less is that the oil-less are usually rated for continuous duty wheras the model 6 is i think a 50% duty cycle. but not sure that matters very much.
