Air Compressor Systems

Whether you’re a professional woodworker or a DIYer, an air compressor is an asset in your workshop. It serves many functions, from powering tools to moving sawdust.

Woodcraft carries several brands of air compressors, including California Air Tools, DeWALT® and PORTER-CABLE®. The compressors in our collection are designed to enhance your woodworking projects and offer versatile performance for a variety of other tasks.

Whether you’re looking for a small, portable pancake air compressor, a large 60-gallon stationary compressor or the soundproof benefits of a cabinet model, we have a wide selection of some of the best air compressors on the market.

Styles of Air Compressors

Portable:

Portable air compressors come in many different sizes and designs. Smaller models, like PORTER-CABLE’S 1-1/2 gallon option, weigh only 20 pounds and can be carried with ease. Larger models, like the California Air Tools 20-gallon compressor, are equipped with wheels for mobility. Woodcraft’s selection of portable air compressors ranges from 2 to 20 gallons.

Cabinet:

Cabinet-style air compressors are often still classified as portable, however, the enclosure is designed to minimize noise. This makes them a great choice for indoor or sound-sensitive environments. California Air Tools has an 8-gallon cabinet compressor that only emits 40 decibels of noise.

Stationary:

A stationary air compressor is often chosen for its durability, higher power and capacity compared to portable models. They generally deliver higher CFM (cubic feet per minute) and have higher PSI (pounds per square inch) ratings. For example, California Air Tool has a 10-gallon compressor that delivers 6.4 CFM @ 40 PSI and 5.3 CFM @ 90 PSI. 

Pneumatic Tools

Air compressors are often used to power  pneumatic tools commonly used in woodworking, such as nail guns,  spray guns, and airbrushes. Brands like Grex, PORTER-CABLE®, EARLEX® and Fuji Spray are built for durability and efficiency. These tools offer consistent performance, making them ideal for everything from intricate detailing to heavy-duty tasks. Equip your workshop with reliable pneumatic tools that take your craftsmanship to the next level.
