Axminster mini compressor + airbrush
trextr7monkey - 17/8/10 at 11:04 AM

It is an Axminster CP101, diaphragm pump on oil less bearings so quiet and low maintenance.
the motor is 1/8 HP and it is rated at 1.58cfm air supply with max pressure of 35psi
It is mains operated, original box present although unit has been lightly used, couple of old air brushes and jars and complete new set too, also a few pots of water based day glo paint to try it all out.

they say it is "Suitable for most small air brushes and air brush kits" and "This compressor is only suitable for use with air brushes."

All spares and parts are available from Axminster or Machine mart etc
£50 collected or + carriage
Any questions just ask, cheers

Hi, haven't weighed it but would certainly go with Parcel 2go for £8 and I sent some stuff through Myhermes last week which was about £6
Just weighed it and it is around 6kg so it would go for £7 unless you can find a better deal - parcel size is 30 x22 x 13 cm

They are the ones that machine mart sell or that you get free with a new compressor- strictly the budget end of the market I guess .
We have used it mostly for spraying backgrounds for models and mock ups in foam board etc for which it is more than adequate.
There is nothing to stop anyone from hooking up a high spec tool but we found these OK and cheap enough to replace if they get gummed up 'cos someone didn't clean it properly when they'd finished
