Got the 2nd one I ordered, it is one with the capacitor on it. I will probably remove it. Dunno. I really don't think it needs it for what we do with them. But, it runs quieter, and even smoother than the 1st one. So, all and all, I paid $60 for two dang nice running compressors. Next, I will be mounting this 2nd one on a 1 gallon pancake tank. It will make a nice portable additional to my big garage unit.
I just got mine too. No Cap and it does squeal, but only until pressurized. I’ve heard of this before with oil less piston type compressors. I can’t remember exactly why, but I believe it had something to do with worn piston slop. The piston centers itself under pressure. For the money and free shipping, I'm more than happy.:thumbs_up:
Check Harbor Freight Tools if you have one near you. very cool deals. I bought an air compressoer for $89. but its good enough for household jobs. I textured and painted my trainroom with it, and powers airbrush too!
Thanks for the tip on the compressor. Mine arrived today--paper label, no capacitor, no squeal. I will use this for an air brush and have noob questions. What model/type regulator and filter should I get and is the thread size 'standard'? Thanks for the help. Scott
Thead size is standard for this size air compressors. 3/8" I "think". Please confirm that size tho. Use a small mini regulator, they can be found pretty cheap. There is a decent one listed somewhere up inthis thread that somebody uses from Harbor Freight. You can ger a seperator that is small and fits it there too I am sure.
