I'm building a new woodworking shop (26' x 26') and framing is complete. I plan to install an air compressor (2 - 3 hp with an 80 gallon tank) and would like to know if I should plan a special air intake that draws outside air (I'm in Ontario Canada) into the compressor or should I simply use the air in the shop as the "feed" for the compressor? If I go with an outside air feed, what size of inlet should I provide? Thoughts and comments would be appreciated.
