[TheForge] Compressor options

[Dave Brown]

All,

Oilless compressors?  Are they worth the extra $$$?

Needing to replace my current weak compressor, I'm looking at various 
compressors at the local Big Box stores.  Some are oilless and some have 
the more common oil reservoir for the crank.  I may want to use the air 
supply for a positive pressure mask for sand blasting.  Is oil 
contamination of the air a big concern?  Are there oil traps or filters 
like the water traps? etc...etc...

Any and all thoughts appreciated.
