I have a Craftsman 30 gallon 5 horsepower 110 volt air compressor. It
puts out 6 cfm at 90. I would like to be able to paint and do more
such as sandblast. Could I get another similar sized compressor and
hook the both togther or do I have to break down and just buy an
expensive bigger compressor?

I have 3 hooked together and they cycle as demand increases or decreases.

They would need to be on different breakers.

What is the correct way to hook up more than one?
