So instead of spending £300 on a compressor setup I can't use I'm getting a big air receiver for free and can buy myself a nice belt driven compressor to add to my collection of 2x 2HP direct drives. Hopefully all of this put together should easily manage to keep up with pretty much everything I do. So it's all worked out in the end..... . Seems like the best possible outcome, Oliver ... Well played !! MichaelG.
