Jacko 2157 Report post Posted August 19, 2019 Im in need of a 240V compressor, something that just works and can spit out enough air for occasional home gamer Have a metric shed load of air tools from previous life, drills/diegrinders/hammers etc. Its not going to get a daily use, so dont want to blow a lot of cash on it, something thats on wheels so I can throw it outside the shed when being used, and stored inside. Any suggestions? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jacko 2157 Report post Posted August 28, 2019 Picked up a Ryobi 50L 2hp unit, found under shelf at bunnings, complete with a few tools in the box, for $229... pretty sure it was miss-priced (had no tag etc!).. but didnt want to pull on that thread so took it straight to check out and walked out door 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

325_driver 422 Report post Posted September 4, 2019 @Jacko provided your not using a HVLP paint gun you only really need maximum of 2hp. $250 would be plenty. I would hit up the Facebook market place to be honest. Plenty of decent second hands on there for cheap like sub $100 mark. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
325_driver 422 Report post Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) @Jacko o and you can use a paint gun on those compressors just don't expect to be able to do massive runs with it. I.e. smaller strokes. Still can get a nice finish Used smaller ones before in the past Just saying 2hp is plenty If you are buying new the metric bang for buck you should be looking is the flow rate in CFM or Litres/min LPM I think these guys were having some discounts. 9cfm is good for less than $300 https://www.machineryhouse.co.nz/Belt-Drive-240V-Air-Compressors?From=Search&s=Air com But yeah check the CFM on that Bunnings one, is a good price too Edited September 4, 2019 by 325_driver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
