Compressor advice

[AndyGuid]

Done a bit of workshop clearing recently and now might have space for a small compressor. This would be mainly for dust clearing on router, maybe for mist coolant as well, both for router and vertical mill. I've never had a compressor, and have no idea what might be a suitable size/rating, or what I might do with it if I had one beyond purposes mentioned. Are compressors generally too noisy to have in the workshop itself?

I've always liked the idea of having at hand a brad-nailer to at least assist in holding things together during woodwork assembly, and it seems that the only affordable brad-nailers are by nature air-driven.

Now ALDI down under are selling an Air Compressor for AU$149 which looks to me to be identical to this one going for AU$229:
https://www.bunnings.com.au/full-boa...essor_p6290392 which includes specs:

Free Air Delivery: 120 l/min (4.2 cfm)
Max. Air Delivery: 180 l/min (6.4 cfm)
Max. Working Pressure: 10 bar (145 psi)
Tank Volume: 50L
Sound Power Level: 94dB

Thanks to this thread I'm now feeling almost able to justify some purchases to myself :-) in importance:

1. Brad-nailer AU$118 - https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-ai...apler_p6210571

• 32-64 mm C-Series Brads 16-Gauge
• 15-50 mm C1-Series Brads 18-Gauge
• 16-40 mm 6000-Series Staples

2. Blow gun(s) for dusting and clearing chips

3. Inflating things

And possibly at a later stage:

4. Portable SANDBLASTER at AU$59 - https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-23...aster_p6290557

5. Air DIE-GRINDER at AU$34 - https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-ai...inder_p6210617

Some research has indoctrinated me to now think that one big advantage to air-driven die-grinders is that the air motor has no momentum, so when you release the trigger it stops. And on delicate or critical things that air-driven may be better than electric as the tool vibrates less and chatters less in the hole than electric does. And whereas electric motors generate heat, air motors run cool and tend to be small and easy to handle so could suit blending welds on ornamental projects or light de-burring?

Here's hoping I'm not on the wrong track and somebody has had decent service out of an ALDI Air Compressor!?
