Air Compressor / DIY. ?

I am thinking of building a Compressor at a shop, Where I have some of my Machine Tool Machines located.

I am going to try to use what I have,
And make it even Better without Creating another Huge Project.

I have a Very good compressor at my House.
I am trying to stay away from having a high dollar Compressor that I don't use much.

Here is my Idea for this location.


At this location the 2 compressor's that are there/

One is in sad shape,
But the tank is good and also has a good Vertical tank plumbed in.

The other one the Compressor is (Wore Out) and weak,
It still builds air but takes a LONG Time.
But the Tank is good , The Motor still runs, Will I Use that motor? Ytbd.

My first plan is to buy this.

Then I will plumb the other tanks into it.
I will possibly have 1 of the tanks by my main machine inside the garage.
The other 2 tanks will be in the Air Compressor shed outside.

If the old Motor does not work out,
I will get this one.

I may need a new Pressure switch.
They are reasonably priced though.

Then the Icing on the cake.

I plan to run a Condenser /Water filter combo something like in the video below.

What do ya'll think?

It's not really about the price as much as using what I have that is still good.
