Perhaps someone could answer this to stop my confusion. Alot of the compressors at Wal-Mart, Home Depot etc (the ones with the tanks and really good price points) are oil lubricated. I've noticed that all the hobby ones seem to be oilless. Is there a danger of oil getting into the airline if you use the former for airbrushing models? Or is the lube being done somewhere other than the pistons? Or is there an oil trap somewhere in the line? I know silly question, but the thought of throwing a drop of oil (even if it is only one in a thousand chance) has me leaning towards getting one of the hobby compressors.
