rtbiscuit Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 I'm looking at oiless as I might spray with it, apparently oiless is better for spray work Quote
glrnet Posted March 10, 2013 Author Posted March 10, 2013 The one I went for is oilless and you are correct, virtually no risk of contamination. Quote

Darren-B Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 What kind of litreage are people buying? I`ve got a fairly loud one, 100litre & have another 50litre holding tank, along with a small portable 9litre compressor to help, all built into a soundproofed fan cooled & filtered (pipercross) enclosure. A bit much for just garage air tools but I do a fair bit of spraying & use air dryers, also have an air fed mask that uses a fair bit of air. Would recommend getting yourself a decent water/air separator too Quote
glrnet Posted March 11, 2013 Author Posted March 11, 2013 Guys, i've bought my first compressor, it doesn't come with any hoses so should I be buying helical hose or straight hose? What are the advantages/disadvantages of both? Any other advice I should be aware of? Thanks G Don't go mad buying stuff Graham. I have a length of 8 or 10 mm rubber that I used twice. plus some quick release cuplers and reducers. Your welcome to them mate. I am not going anywhere till Tuesday if you want to take a gander! So long as I don't have to drag my butt out of bed early:) Just a quick word of thanks to Peter. Popped round to see him earlier today and collected the above and some other bits too Thanks mate, that was really generous of you, as agreed, I owe you. I love this place Quote
glrnet Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 So, it arrived and spent the afternoon sorting a power supply and refitting quick release couplings to the hose kindly donated by Peter And a separate power supply for this:- Quote
spursmaddave Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Ooooooh you can bake cakes while you spray Quote
