[TheForge] air compressors revisited.

[GRAF]

terry,
What do YOU intend to run off of the compressor(s)
Which are likely to be in use at the same time?

A start off point would be your largest consumption machine at 100%plus 
enough capacity to allow it to cycle within its duty range.
Build up from there until the pricing gets out of hand. Leave enough 
room and service ports ready to accept another compressor if you need one.
