Model Forum / General / Models / September 2005Compressors @ Sears?
Do they sell small,good ones?. > Do they sell small,good ones?. Why don't you check SEARS.COM. They might know. > Do they sell small,good ones?. FWIW I bought my current compressor at Sears. Came with a small Tank and all the necessary pressure regulators. I did add a moisture trap as it gets quite humid in the Baltimore area. I got it on a sale but they usually have a unit with 2 to 4 gal tank at a reasonable price. Bill Shuey As a test I tried home depot.COM,& the compressers they sold were of the industrail size,wat too big for air brushing,but I will try Sears.On Sun, 25 Sep 2005 19:12:45 -0400, "William H.

I picked up a $79 Campbell-Housfelt compressor there. It is 2gal and fairly quiet. It is too wimpy for most air tools, but perfect for airbrushing! It even has a press. regulator. Also, Target sells similar item. Yes, neither store is very "manly", but we are looking here for a cheap low volume compressor. :-) Peteski >If you don't have an aversion to Wally-Mart, look there. > >I picked up a $79 Campbell-Housfelt compressor there.

Haven't had to use it for that yet but it sure came in handy the other day when I found that my car had a flat tire... ;)  SignatureAl Superczynski, MFE, IPMS/USA #3795, continuous since 1968 My "From" address is munged - click "Reply To" to respond via email.

I bought a compressor at Target about a year ago for the clearance price of $45. It has a tank and pressure regulator and works like a champ. No problems with it for airbrushing. Martin > Do they sell small,good ones?. I haven't looked at Sears, but one brand is Coleman, and that unit is found in many large hardware and home improvement stores. If you use a compressor like that, what would a typical airbrush need the regulator set at? 5 to 10 PSI? I have one of those white plastic Testors airbrushes that came out several years ago. It runs on a can of compressed air and that's reason I don't use it as much as I would like - they cost too much. I had thought about using my compressor before but was afraid of destroying the airbrush. -Dave ----- "I used to have a handle on life - but it broke" > > Do they sell small,good ones?. > > I haven't looked at Sears, but one brand is Coleman, and that unit is > found in many large hardware and home improvement stores. > If you use a compressor like that, what would a typical airbrush need > the regulator set at? 5 to 10 PSI?

You will not destroy your Testors airbrush by using it with your compressor, as long as you do not try to use it without a pressure regulator and blow it up. SignatureLarry D. Farrell, Ph.D. Professor of Microbiology Idaho State University Mal-Mart?,it's not that Testors black box thing?,seems people working at the local malmart were let goers from their old jobs,don't know where anything is.But, Target sells compressors?,i've been in the one near by,but never persued a compressor,hope all the Targets sell them,they don't sell models at this location,but this chain/store is decent.On Mon, 26 Sep 2005 10:45:17 -0600, Larry Farrell <farrlarr@isu.edu> wrote: >> If you use a compressor like that, what would a typical airbrush need >> the regulator set at? 5 to 10 PSI?
