Agage1 83 #1 Posted October 11, 2014 This may be a stupid question and the only reason I ask it is because I have 2 spare compressors. I use a 30 gal compressor in my garage and it works great but for grinding and small scale painting it runs a lot. I have another 30 gal compressor just sitting. I had the thought of making a fitting where 2 compressors would power one tool. Any thoughts on this? Would this work? The only reason I would do this is because I have a perfectly good one sitting. I rely on air tools daily for work and I've never seen anyone do this which leads me to believe this may be a bad idea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or change the pressure setting on 1 unit so the pump come on at a different time. We have HVAC air compressors st work that use 1 80 gal tank with 2 pumps. They are set up for lead / lag and alternate being in the lead every cycle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
