I dont have the details and the compressor is old.
I was more thinking is there was some kind of simple flow meter like the ones we might use to control welding gases I could buy.
Thank you everyone for your contributions. I didnt thing my compressor would have any trouble supplying the air to paint reasonably continuously, that os a surprise.
Again it was a friend who mentioned HVLP as being the way to go but he isnt a painter, just another enthusiast.
Even though I...
Can any of you guys recommend what HVLP spray gun I should buy?
Im painting a restored car and would like it for general workshop use as well to paint different things.
I have a 3hp compressor with a 150l tank which I guess will do the job?
Any tips on what I need would be very welcome as the...
Ive got a situation while trying to patch inside of a car suspension turret.
Access is poor and the area I want to weld to although sound has some surface rust on it. I cant get in with anything mechanical to make a decent job of removing the rust that is there so I was wondering if I can treat...
Guys,
Ive got one of the cheap SB20 blasting pots and so far it hasn't been modified in any way.
Can I ask what type of media you would recommend for removing surface rust and old paint etc, mainly on automotive body panels and parts?
I was thinking something sharp like Aluminium Oxide 60-80...
I did wonder if I should run a big diameter pipe direct to my blasting set up then have a take off off it with a regulator on for the spray gear? as I said Im clueless though so open to advice.
Guys,
I have a 3hp 150L compressor, its about 20yrs old and British made, I think its flow rate is 13CFM.
I need to buy a new regulator/filter etc for it and I dont know where to start. My concern is that I buy something that will unknowingly cut down my flow rate, my rubber air lines are 3/8...
My welds aren't always so nice but the point of posting the picture was to try and show that Im not hopeless without a clue and trying to blame my machine.
My main question still remains, will a higher quality welder produce better results all other things being equal and if the operator has a...
Guys,
I have a small engineering business and from time to time I need to weld, typically 3mm-8mm stuff. I used to manage fine with an old Oxford oil filled stick set I had, it packed in one day so I bought myself a Sealey 140 Supermig to replace it.
Being new to MIG welding it never gave me...
Thanks for the welcome Dcal, I followed one of your builds the other night and your interpretation of the media valve, glad to hear its working well.
The only reason I thought about building was it seems the ebay pots need a lot of work and starting from a calorie bottle didnt really seem much...
Hello guys,
Im new to this forum and have spent a couple of evenings trying to establish a spec for a blasting pot I want to build, Ive read lots of threads on here but still a little unsure. My reason for build rather than buy is I have the skills and equipment to make a good job and Im lead...
