I'm looking for a compressor!
Morning all!
Apologies for bringing this up again, but I am looking to buy a smallish compressor. I;ve read through a lot of the older threads, and I have a good
idea of what I need it for, but I have no idea where the bargains are to be had!
My main use is going to be painting, both with an airbrush, and a slightly larger spray gun for larger areas. Space is at a premium in my garage, so
I don't need a massive great thing, especially as I can't ever see the need for running air tools off it.
As I'll be using it for airbrush work, it would be really useful to have a decent regulator/pressure gauge, and the availability of an
oil/moisture/crap trap would be good too.
Sooo, does anyone know of any good bargains out there? I've had a look at he usual places, like screwfix and machine mart, but nothing has
caught my eye yet.
Cheers
Andy

If space is a concern look at upright compressors.One
here
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Try looking at Makro if you have one locally.

Try your local free ads for a used compressor S/H you may get a larger one for less than a new smaller one . I know space is at a premium but
it's worth getting a larger one if you can!

How about something like this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4394341193&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBI%3AIT&rd=1
I hope the link works....
They seem pretty cheap, and are shiped from germany, which figures as about 1/2 to 1/3 of the cost...
I'll check out Makro in Chester this afternoon, as I am driving right past! I never thought of going there!
