Will this spray gun work correctly using a porter cable 150psi pancake compressor for painting bookcases and kitchen cabinets

It worked extremely well for me using this type compressor. I painted eight pieces of outdoor wrought iron furniture in a very short span of time. As most would suggest, take the time to practice on something before using for the items mentioned

The psi isn't the most important factor, it is the cfm of the compressor. If it is 1.5 to 2 hp it should work this paint gun at 50 to 50 psig. Most air compressors put out 2 to 3.5 cfm per horse power.

I use it with a nail gun and it works fine. The compressor starts up to replenish air quite often but it is really quiet. I like it.

It would take at least a pint to get it up to spray nozzle . It has a 25 foot hose. Use the smaller hand held Wagner for your furniture. I painted half my house with the small one.

Hello Alan,I am afraid you cannot use Black & Decker BDPH400's (power unit) compressor with any other type of 3rd party spray guns. The reason being, the (power unit) compressor and the supplied gun are designed to work only with one another. If you've notice, the hose size on the 'HomeRight C800863' spray gun is comparatively smaller to the one of the Black and Decker gun.If you can find a reducer attachment for the Black and Decker power unit (compressor) to match the hose size of the 'HomeRight C800863' spray gun, then it might work. There's no guarantee though that it will.I haven't tried painting ceilings with this product yet; hence, I am unsure about your second question.I hope this helps!

I have used this compressor with a finish nailer on a small home improvement project and it worked fine. I would not use for any big projects or with tools that require a lot of air.

For occasional and light duty work I would say yes. The compressor is very quiet and yet has quick recovery and holds good pressure. I would not agree to professional or prolonged use with a spray gun or any high cfm consumption tools. This handles my nail guns and airs an occasional tire with ease.

It's all about CFM (cubic feet a minute) not pressure, this spray gun requires quite a lot of CFM and if your compressor cannot supply enough of it than you will have to wait while the compressor can fill your very small tank

I'm using a portable 6 gallon 150 psi pancake compressor made by Stanley. It's fine for my basement/garage projects using any of my 3 nail guns.

It should work just fine. I have a Porter-Cable with 2.6 SCFM @90psi and it does a great job.

I use this gun with the small Porter Cable trim compressor. I think the tank is only about a gallon or a gallon and a half. I'm a cabinet maker and this is the compressor I use with this gun on site and it works fine. In the shop I use a much larger q

I use the 6 gal Porter Cable from Home Depot. Works great for small projects. I wouldn't use it for rapid fire nailing. You need a bigger tank for that. I get maybe 5 shots before the compressor kicks on.

The manual says the operating pressure is 64 - 100 psi and I can confirm that it works well with my Porter Cable pancake compressor. Hope this helps.

i wouldn't use it for spray painting unless spraying a small area its only 2.8 cfm sprayers use more than that... I use it for nail guns wouldn't use it for high cfm tools like angle grinders, sand blasters, air snips, hvlp or chisels. its a great compressor but still has limitations

I have a 3hp, 60 gallon compressor. I run at 100psi pushing straight fluid film through the gun with a 4 foot hose attached to get in all the nooks and crannies under my truck.Worked well, I am satisfied with the undercoat gun.

I did the research in your case and the answer is that it can't and here is why.1) The compressor you have has a very small air storage capacity. It's perfect for nailguns but paint guns require a lot of air storage ready to flow.2) Here are your compressor specs. 2.6 SCFM which is basically the air per minute (cubic feet per minute). The air gun requires 4.3 SCFM at 40 psi (pounds per square inch). You're is 90 psi so it can handle that but the air flow. In other words, you have the pressure but not the air capacity.

Basically most compressors would work with the pin nailer. It does not take a lot of pressure to operate this gun. I would stick with a top brand name. Porter Cable has a "pancake" style compressor that could be purchased at HD or Lowes. I have that compressor and 6 different Porter Cable guns including the pin 138.

Mines not a pancake compressor, but it is around the same size. I have a 2.6 gallon 2 HP compressor that works beautifully with these guns. It fills to 120 psi, and I have a regulator on the compressor that allows 80-90 psi through, depending on the gun I am using at the time. I can usually shoot 20-30 nails before it has to get more pressure built up, but never dropping below 90 psi. Since the tank is so small, it takes only seconds to fill again. I'm not sure what the rules are on linking to other items, but I bought the compressor off Amazon.
