Air compressor, minimum specs??

[WillR]

I had the same question and looked at the DeWalt and King Canada site. ( =

)

The nailer you want gives the correct specs. I also had a look at the=20 spray paint bottles/guns and made a choice based on the spray gun I wish =

to run. So that meant at least the upper part of the consumer lines for=20 the compressor.

e.g. Spray guns -- each with a spec...

and nailer kits -- click on specs and you will see that each gun =

gives an "air spec".

the air compressors. For example the 8489 model....

This one is $180 CDN ($150 USD???)and can power most stuff I=20 found....

Very similar to Rigid and dewalt models -- half the price. Probably=20 good for heavy consumer use at least. Similar to General equipment etc...=

Motor 2.5 HP/CV Air Delivery @ 40 PSI 6.78 SCFM

Air Delivery @ 90 PSI 5.29 SCFM

Tank Size 2 x 2 Gallon

Motor amperage 13.5 Amp. RPM 3,400

Voltage 60 Hz Dimensions (LxWxH) =09 18=94 x 17=94 x 18=94 Weight =09 62 lbs. =09

So can't help you specifically, cause you did not even give the class of =

gun/stapler, but this should give you an education...

Domestic. Not enough air, they become barbecue.

The specifications don't mean anything because the manufacturers lie; usually overstating the specs by at least 100%.

However, running a nail gun does not require a very large compressor. Just don't get one without a tank.

Agreed. If it was so thin as to actually rust through at one location the rest of the tank is not far behind.
