compressors for dredges (breathing air) are oilless! some paint sprayers using compressed air have oiless compressors.i have one of these. its a Brown (brand name) compressor. i went through it to make sure it was ok before i used it. it is a diaphram compressor rather than a oiless!ive used it for about 6 years now without any problems.i paid $35. for it then .Dan Miller also gave me another diaphram compressor that was a Sears. i have it setup as a standalone, with a 3.5 HP engine for sniping.if you do this, go through the compressor to make sure theres NOTHING in there loss that will end up in your lungs and by all means sanitize your hose/mask/lines and copressor for ANY downtime to prevent any bacteria from growing inside.BLACK MOLD will hurt you!
