Description
Eastwood ELITE QST® 30/60 Scroll Compressor
Discover the joy of working in a nearly silent workshop with the Eastwood ELITE QST® 30/60 Scroll Compressor. Ideal for use in the home garage and the professional shop alike, this cutting-edge air compressor delivers unparalleled power and whisper-quiet operation. Designed to run all your pneumatic tools without disturbing the peace, this 4th-generation model stands out as the most advanced compressor on the market today.
Continuous Development for Even Greater Dependability
The latest Eastwood ELITE QST® 30/60 scroll compressor builds on years of real-world feedback from DIYers to industrial users. The addition of an automatic moisture drain on this generation simplifies operation and maintenance, especially for machines that see only occasional light use. An integrated compressor circuit interrupter constantly monitors compressed air temperature, voltage, and current to automatically shut the compressor down should it encounter severe conditions.

Generating sound levels as low as 63 dB*, it’s the quietest compressor we’ve ever tested. With an impressive 12.7 cfm output, it easily powers air tools, paint guns, and abrasive blasters, making it an essential tool for any shop.
The QST® 30/60 scroll compressor is backed by Eastwood’s 3-year warranty, 60-day money-back guarantee, and lifetime customer support from our own US-based tech team.
Key Features of the Eastwood QST® 30/60 Air Compressor:
- Direct-drive cast iron scroll pump combines massive performance with unparalleled smoothness and silence

FAQs
Will the scroll compressor need to be hardwired or will it have a plug?
The scroll compressor will come with a 10 ga cord that will not have a plug end. This will give you the option to hardwire or install an appropriate plug of your choice.
Will a 20 amp breaker be sufficient for power usage?
Refer to the Compressor nameplate for voltage and amperage requirements. All wiring must be done by a licensed electrician, in accordance with National Electric Code and state and local requirements. For best performance, the Compressor must be installed on a dedicated circuit, with a circuit breaker or fuse for protection. Each time the Compressor motor starts, it will momentarily draw several times its full load amperage. It is important to consider this start-up surge when specifying circuit breakers or fuses. If fuses are used, time-delay type must be installed.
How Much does it cost to ship the Scroll Compressor?
Shipping for a Scroll Compressor is by truck freight and is calculated after it is added to the shopping cart. In store pick up will also be available at our retail locations.
Does the Scroll Compressor still need an air Filter/Drier?
Just like a piston compressor the scroll compressor compresses air which causes the air temperature to rise and moisture to condense Therefore the same Filtration and moisture separation will be needed to ensure clean dry air.
What are the maintenance requirements?
After the first year we specify an oil change and every three years we specify an oil and filter change. There is an air filter, an oil filter and a moisture separator/filter that would be changed at that time.
Where is this Compressor Made?
The air compressor is made in China to Eastwood's specifications. We do all validation and testing of products here in the USA to ensure that they meet our exacting standards.
How does a scroll compressor work?
A scroll compressor uses two interleaving scrolls to pump, compress or pressurize fluids, including liquids and gases. One of the scrolls is typically fixed, while the other scroll orbits without rotating, which results in trapping, pumping or compressing pockets of fluid between the scrolls.
Another method for producing the compression motion is co-rotating the scrolls at the same time, but with offset centers of rotation. The relative motion is the same as if one were orbiting around the other.
How do you quiet an air compressor?
The easiest solution to quieting an air compressor is to buy a new ultra-quiet model. If you are looking for a way to quiet your existing air compressor, there are some tips that you can follow.
You can install an intake silencer, which will help to dampen the sound produced by the incoming air rushing through the filter of your air compressor. Another tip is to install anti-vibration pads under your stationary air compressor. You can also build your own soundproof box to house your air compressor.
If those methods don't work, it is recommended to move your air compressor as far away from you as possible or wear hearing protection when near your air compressor.
Is a scroll or a rotary compressor better?
In general, rotary air compressors have more power and can cool more air than a scroll air compressor. Rotary compressors are usually a better option in larger central air conditioning systems, but the power could be wasted if used in a smaller central unit or a window air conditioner.

Great compressor
First I have to mention how well the unit was package. Basically it was inside of a cushioned wood box secured to a pallet. I haven’t even used it a month yet however I will say quiet running is an understatement. I have never heard a quieter compressor. Has so far ran every air tool that I had attached to it with no problem, DA, air grinder and HVLP paint gun. The size is very compact, for the output this unit has.

I am in awe of how quiet this thing is...
Time will tell on longevity, but so far, it was ready to run right out of the box, just had to wire up my NEMA receptacle to the included pigtail(nice bonus btw, did not even have to provide any wire) The sound (or lack thereof) is other wordly. After decades of having my sanity and hearing ruined from piston compressors, this thing is a god send. It literally sounds like a dishwasher. You can have a phone conversation standing right next to it. And so far, it's kept up with everything I could throw at it, DA'ed a whole car, never slowed down. Primed that whole car, never dropped pressure. I had my doubts, but I'm a believer.

unit is very quiet, capable and just what we needed.
So far so good! unit is super quiet, unobtrusive and yet provides plenty of air for our application. So far no more trouble than any other compressor we have. Time will tell if the unit holds up.
Feels very robust and well made.

Greatest compressor ever!
This compressor is the most impressive machine In my shop! I couldn’t believe my ears and also the rapid air replenishment. I was very skeptical based on a number of reviews. When I received the compressor I followed all the instructions for startup and magic to my ears the compressor quickly filled up the tank and we began to work it. I have a number of air tools with everything from 5” DA sanders to 1.5 hp angle grinders, this compressor can handle all of them. I know I made the best choice for my air needs. Just for comparison this compressor replaced my 60 gallon California air tools silent compressor and the difference in quality, sound and air production are day and night. Cannot recommend enough. Do not hesitate to buy you will not be disappointed. We run our compressor 2-3 hours a day average and it is piped throughout the shop using 3/4” rapid air lines. It’s a workhorse getting ready to purchase number 2.

Perfect for the home shop
Super quiet and plenty of power. I have been looking for the right compressor for a while and this one is it. It is very compact. I was surprised by how little heat is generated while it is running. It produces maybe 1/10 of the water in the tank that my old piston compressor did. Fills fast and has now leak down at all. Love this unit.

Good compressor.
Good compressor. Runs well and quiet. Here is some information that really should have been provided with the unit.
1. The oil that compressor ships with has florescent dye in it, so its pink, don't freak out due to that color; QST Oil sold by eastwood is clear / golden like most average oils are.
2. The replacement oil should be ISO 32 or ISO 46 weight full synthetic compressor (aka hydraulic) oil (eastwood QST Oil bottle does not list its ISO viscosity and link to QST Oil SDS is dead). Water separates from oil well, but only water contained in oil reservoir will drain, since all plumbing for scroll and cooler is on top. So, if leaving for long storage run it for couple minutes after the water drain to recirculate oil and drain water again the next day, to get the water from scroll and oil cooler that did not drain on day 1.
3. When compressor starts up there is about half a second rattle sound (almost sounding like moving gears engaging). According to eastwood it is expected and is the intake valve opening.
4. There is no automatic water purge. All moisture from the air will need to be drained out of the air tank or oil tank on regular intervals. If you are running the compressor allot, more moisture will be in air tank since it will be vapor in hot oil and will pass through the filter. If you are running compressor for short duration and oil does not get hot, all that moisture will stay in oil tank and needs to be drained from oil tank before oil level increases above max level.

Nice and quiet for my garage shop
My garage shop has a bedroom above it so the quieter compressor has been great. In addition, it powers all my equipment including my Ikonics Sand Carver without issue. This was my primary driver for getting it as it needs a high CFM and my space is limited.

A quiet shop compressor that won’t interrupt your conversation!
I mentioned to a friend that I was going to put in a dedicated compressor to run a CNC mill and he recommended that I check out a scroll compressor. He mentioned that they’re quiet compared to the typical reciprocating pump compressors that are usually available in the major home improvement stores. I looked into the technology and places where I could buy one and found that Eastwood had a model with just the capacity and price that I needed. I’m so glad I bought this compressor! It’s so much quieter than the other compressor I have and I’m thinking seriously about selling my other compressor and buying another of these to replace it.

Initial Impression
Not being familiar with scroll compressors I debated about purchasing the 30/60. I researched the little I could find about consumer grade scroll compressors and read all the reviews on the Eastwood site. I am a stickler about maintenance and felt that I could handle the oil and water issues in exchange for the continuous duty rating and quiet operation. What really sold me was the when I contacted both the Eastwood store in Parma and Eastwood Customer Service. They were very helpful, answered my questions and insured that the compressor I purchased would have the uprated components of current models. Brianna C in customer service went out of her way to get back to me concerning the pre purchase questions. So after two weeks, initial hookup went well, compressor runs smoothly, is exceptionally quiet and appears to live up to it's CFM rating.. The unloader valve releasing air is rather noisy but is to expected.

Very quite and works well for our auto detail business. We have a small shop, so we have to answer phone call when the compressor is running and only 15 a 20 ft away from the phone. Would hesitate to purchase this compressor again.

Scroll compressor
I needed to replace an older 30 gallon compressor that wasn’t useful for operating air tools like a dual action sanders or grinders.
I would have needed a 2 stage compressor of at least 60 gallons.
I would have to run a new outlet for the power required by a compressor that size.
I carefully looked at the reviews for this compressor and saw that a bad pressure valve seemed to be a common complaint when new, and replacing it is an easy task.
I did need to replace the valve and they sent me a replacement the day after I reported the problem.
This compressor used the power supply from the older compressor and is extremely quiet and takes up much less room that a piston compressor would in my 2 car garage.
I was surprised at how well built it looked when I unpacked it.
I can operate a D/A sander with it constantly and the compressor will fill easily to capacity while doing so.
In short, it’s well built, small, quiet, operates on a power supply of a small compressor and creates enough air to operate my tools without having to wait for the pressure to build up like my old one.
It’s expensive but running a new power line would have been too.

As quiet as a sump pump!
The old oil-less compressor was making me deaf in the garage. The QST is so quiet I put it in the basement shop right next to the work area. It keeps up with every tool including sanders, blast cabinet, etc. I've had it a year and it's been terrific. I did run into the overfilled oil issue but that was very quickly resolved.

Once product is set up it’s absolutely flawless. When it comes to the oil do not listen to the manual filling it to the second line is way too much oil according to Eastwood tech support I listen to the manual and it started squirting oil out of the overload switch tech-support says there was too much oil in it. they’re working on fixing the manual to accommodate this mistake

Questions & Answers
Why does the newer model not have a cover on the compressor like the older model?
The cover has been removed to allow for improved cooling and ease of access to the drain and filters for maintenance.
Date published: 2025-01-27
What is the difference between the "Previous Generation" and the Current version?
The automatic oil drain. Not a tank drain but a drain to keep moisture out of the lubricating oil. Helpful on units that see light occasional use and aren't in temperature controlled environments.
Date published: 2024-10-27
Can I put a 80 gallon auxiliary tank on this unit?
Thank you for your question: Yes you can!
Eastwood Elite 80 Gallon Auxiliary Air Compressor Tank is compatible as well as other auxiliary tanks. It will need to be plumbed properly as I am sure you are already aware.
Make sure you are running a high quality filter dryer on the system and do not forget to drain the tanks of any moisture daily, if possible.
Date published: 2024-10-29
I have a 50amp breaker with NEMA 6-50R for My Mig 180 that I currently use. Is the plug outlet the same? Can I just unplug the welder and plug in this compressor?
You would be able to run the compressor, however although the compressor doesn't list the NEMA configuration for the compressor it is probably a 20 or 30 amp / 240 volt which would be different then what your welder uses. So you would have to change the plug on the compressor, or add an additional j box and run a set of wires from the 50 amp over to new box and use a 30 amp or whatever compressor requires, Just wont be able to run them simultaneously

Can 30/60 compressor paint a car or truck with a hvlp gun at one with no breaks in between
As long as the paint gun uses less that 12.7 cfm, The Eastwood Elite QST 30/60 Scroll Air Compressor with Quiet Technology has a 1750 RPM industrial grade scroll pump produces 12.7 cfm and will be able to handle most air tools and paint guns.
Date published: 2024-10-29
What is the operating temperature of the oil to reduce the water build up in the oil tank ?
There is no specific oil temp to reduce the moisture internally. Moisture and small amount of oil are to be expected in the air tank - this is not an oil-less air compressor. There may also be moisture accumulation in the oil tank. We recommend draining this on a daily to weekly basis based off usage. Please see out technical service bulletin: https://www.eastwood.com/30-60-scroll-compressor-service-bulletin-1
It really depends on your use case and environmental conditions. We have some updated general guidance in the instruction manual (https://www.eastwood.com/images/library/63600Q_QST_3060_Scroll_Compressor_INSTRUCTIONS.pdf), but the general theme is in more humid environments (eg. summer time in the south) where you're using the unit intermittently several time a week it is a good idea to quick drain it before you switch it on every day. It takes less than thirty seconds to flip the valve, watch the flow, and close it. Weekly at a minimum. If you use the unit hard enough that the oil boils off the moisture that's great and you might not need to drain it very often. In northern winters (like right now here in PA) you may also not need to drain it often just because the humidity in the air is so low.
If you have further questions or feel that your compressor is malfunctioning, please reach out to our Project Advisor Team at 800-343-9353, press 1.

Is there a cover for this Eastwood Elite QST 30/60 Scroll Air Compressor ? I like the compressor a lot but would prefer to have the top portion covered up to look nicer, is there something I can buy for this or will I need to fabricate my own cover ?

The manual says that you should use 1/2 fittings, hose, etc with this compressor and going to 3/8" will "greatly" hamper performance. My air hoses are 3/8" with 3/8" high flow quick connectors at the end and on tools. Do I need to go to 1/2" everywhere?
3/8 is more than adequate! see https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/air-flow-compressed-air-pipe-line-d_1280.html for more detial.

Will this really be enough air volume for an all over repaint? 12.7 CFM doesn't seem like quite enough, that's about what my current compressor puts out and it just runs constantly. I know this thing can run at 100% duty cycle but....
its' 12.7 at 90psi. Most HVLP guns run at 30psi or less, so the CFM shoudl be north of 13 that low.

What is the recommended interval to replace the oil, oil filter & water separator after the first and third year of use?
We recommend changing these yearly.
In the past we have suggested longer intervals for some of these, but found that three years is too long between intervals.

It really depends on your use case and environmental conditions. We have some updated general guidance in the instruction manual (https://www.eastwood.com/images/library/63600Q_QST_3060_Scroll_Compressor_INSTRUCTIONS.pdf), but the general theme is in more humid environments (eg. summer time in the south) where you're using the unit intermittently several time a week it is a good idea to quick drain it before you switch it on every day. It takes less than thirty seconds to flip the valve, watch the flow, and close it. Weekly at a minimum. If you use the unit hard enough that the oil boils off the moisture that's great and you might not need to drain it very often. In northern winters (like right now here in PA) you may also not need to drain it often just because the humidity in the air is so low.
An auto drain valve is something that is currently in development and testing...

Very interested for the sound level but has the system been redesigned to eliminate the weekly water/oil drain? Seems for the high price there would be better fix then weekly drain and refill, never had this issues with our large scroll systems at work
Most all new compressors accumulate some water.

Can you mount it outside under am enclosure?
We do not recommend setting up the compressor like this for risk of extreme environmental conditions, lack of accessibility, and difficulty of performance monitoring..

I have a small to man auto paint shop and was wondering if this compressor would suit painting and sanding a car at the same time without issue? Also would it be helpful to feed this to and 80 gallon tank for additional air?
This compressor supplies 12.7 CFM @ 90psi. If the sum of your air demand exceeds that it will have trouble keeping up. Additional tank volume will prolong depletion of the air supply, but if your demand constantly exceeds what the compressor supplies it will run out eventually.

While it would be overkill and a dumb question most likely, can I dial the regulator pressure down far enough to fill the tires with air? Trying to confirm if I can toss my smaller and much louder shop compressor, if I bought one of these.
You don't necessarily need to regulate the air to fill your tires, but if you wanted to regulate the output air pressure you will need to purchase a regulator. Something like our #31633 is great because it has a regulator and filter built into one compact unit.
We do not recommend altering the pressure regulator setting from the factory setting.

I was bleeding the air out of the bottom and noticed oil in the water.
Moisture and small amount of oil are to be expected in the air tank - this is not an oil-less air compressor. There may also be moisture accumulation in the oil tank. We recommend draining this on a daily to weekly basis based off usage. Please see out technical service bulletin: https://www.eastwood.com/30-60-scroll-compressor-service-bulletin-1
If you have further questions or feel that your compressor is malfunctioning, please reach out to customer solutions help@eastwood.com or 800-343-9353.

Picture needs updated, because their is no Riser on the pressure release valve, so the NEW upgraded version they send you cannot be installed without removing the entire valve that comes out of the tank! PITA!!
Our pictures are in need of some revision, sorry.

getting an annoying vibration coming out of the screen while running with the cover on. Anyone try a tennis racket dampener or something similar to solve this?
You can run the compressor without the cover, that is perfectly fine. Turn the cover into a coffee table or scrap it.

What is the storage temperature of the compressor?
We don't have an official storage temp, but personally I would avoid letting it sit in below freezing weather.

What size air line is recommended to supply a sandblaster, paint booth and air tools in a one-man shop?
1/2" piping systems works great for most users with your equipment.

Hello I’m really interested is purchasing this as noise is my main problem. Does anyone know if the issue regarding the oil/water draining weekly has been solved? If not does anyone know if the 80/120 version of this has the same issue?
Kelly H. What is the fix for the 30/60 units? Perhaps a recall, a replacement part, or for the consumer to spend more money on their $2k compressor that requires once a week maintenance?

Will this operate a Coats RC-45 tire machine? This is not a business. Just a hobbyist.
I am unsure exactly what is required by that particular tire changer, but this compressor supplies 12.7 CFM @ 90 psi, which works great for most tire machines as they aren't a large constant draw air tool.

Every time the compressor runs it shuts and what I assume is a pressure relieve valve opens (loud air sound) and lets pressure out and slowly decreases and stops. This air noise last about 10- 15 seconds. Is this normal?
Yes, you are exactly right that is a pressure unloader valve to vent pressure in the scroll motor system. What you described is normal function.
