Oleh Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=92504 Im thinking about buying this.... pros ? cons ? i know its underpowered and has a small tank, but 16.4 CFM @ 40 PSI, 15.7 CFM @ 70 PSI, 14.5 CFM @ 90 PSI, 13 PSI @ 110 PSI is very good i think.

Here comes trouble Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 HF has a 60 gallon tank 5 HP single stage compressor thar will come up on sale sooner or later at around $350-400. for my needs this is about the minimum size for air tool use. I have this size and it just keeps up with one air tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruez Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I guess it all depends on what you are using it for... I bought a 60 gallon 7 hp compressor last year and now I wish it was bigger.... the gun in my media blaster will go through some air quickly.. The compressor can't keep up with it... almost.. but not quite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruez Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Depends on the gun for the blaster.. http://www.blast-it-all.com/LITTLE%20BLASTER%204824.htm Mine uses about 21 CFM with the 1/4" nozzle @ 90 PSI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleh Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 ^ the the spot blaster itself uses 7scfm@90 1/4"NPT and the blaster uses 6 CFM @ 90 PSI...so i think it should be fine ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruez Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 You should be good using those specs.... Now I just need to move my compressor outside... runs constantly when I use the blaster.. but I don't want it to get stolen either :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
