Compressor question

[jknaus]

Has anyone used a Master comporessor or airbrush? Does anyone know if they are worth buying? I cant seem to get a Badger compressor up here or on ebay, but I have found an interesting one by Master. Dont want to buy it if its garbage. Thanks for any help.

Had one like that, not 100% sure it's the same but that one didn't last long
I bought a little bigger one in the DIY store, a Bostitch it came with a nailgun and i'm very happy with it

This is the one I bought back in October http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0038D38AA/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Looks to be the same company. Mine doesn't say Master on it though. So far I have been very happy with it. I mostly got it because of how quite it is. Now how long it will last I have no clue. But so far it has worked great for me. I will say the regulator took a bit of getting used to but once I got it dialed in it has been fine for my uses. I also have a bigger one but since we moved into a triplex and we live on the upstairs I figured a quite one was the better route to go.

Okay I'll go with your suggestion. I need something quieter than my industrial compressor, and something that doesnt brown out the power on start. So ordered this one and a hose with inline water trap. Hopefully that will help alleviate the spitting problem. Thanks for the help.

Hi James! i hope it will work out with the compressor i have a question for you, the waterfilter that you connect your spraybooth to, how is it constructed? i have an idea but not quite sure (don't wanna make a big hole in the wall if i can make a wet filter like that

For the exhaust fumes? I got a bucket from a restaurant. They are used for pickles, ketchup, mustard etc and have a snap on lid. The ducting goes into the lid. Fill the bucket with water and a bit of bleach (kills mold etc). The duct should be a half inch 1.5ish mm above the water. The bucket I had, had a pour plug. Leave that open for the air to exhaust out. The paint fumes etc are caught.
Here is a small write up someone else did. Hope it helps
