Any suggestions on a pancake compressor for these guns?

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.

I use a hitachi EC510 model. 6 gallon capable of working! !!! 2 guns. I use this fir my coil roofers as well. Best lil compressor you can buy. Just look at the customer ratings. Of course one can save money buy getting a throw away from harbor freight. Trust those red portercable lookalikes from H.F. are pretty darn reliable. The name escapes me but just walk into the nearest HF and you'll see it it's like 60$ + tax. So if your only doing smaller jobs thus will get you going fine

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.

Although I very rarely use this piece of equipment these days, I am pleased that I have it when I do need it.And as I have a large compressor and have to reduce the output, it enables me to use a good range of tools.The range needed to run it effectively is between 60 and 100 PSI, as per specs:Oh, and by the way it is quite difficult to find places within Australia that can supply the pins needed for this gun.

Yes, but the gun needs between 1000 and 2000 psi, so a run of the mill air compressor won't suffice. We use a scuba tank, which the scuba shop charges to 3000 psi. Crosman's site has some videos that tell a lot about the gun.

You need a compressor that provides 80 - 100 psi. I would recommend a Porter Cable pancake compressor or something similar.

I use a compressor that I purchased from harbor freight. Remember if you buy a compressor you will need the hard ware to attach it

I run mine @ 90 PSI. I use a Porter Cable pancake at home and a Senco PC1010 on the jobsite. The gun works great with either compressor.

Dean, I would contact DeVilbiss for a better answer than I could provide you. Our shop had a huge compressor that ran everything. I'm thinking that if you didn't do a lot of spraying a 3 or 4 HP would work especially if you use any other pneumatic tools.

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.

U can use same compressor with different gun or probably same gun if u keep very clean

I've used this with a small pancake compressor as well as an industrial size 50gal compressor. As long as it is regulated to 90psi you will be fine. We have been using fasco guns for years and must say am very very very impressed with the unicatch gun. Will certainly be ordering more in the future.

That all depends on the spray gun your using. This compressor puts out 3.8 cfm at 40 psi, guns today can require 3 times that amount of cfm. HVLP guns require higher volumes of air. Older style siphon feed guns, especially a small touch up gun, may be able to be used depending on the tip and air cap configuration. A small airbrush you could use easily. This compressor builds air quickly at its stated rating, but the storage capacity is just not adequate for paint spraying. Hope that helps.

Get quick release adapter...Male on compressor end. Ask any hardware store...Good luck.

The Grex uses a very small amount of air. If you are considering a compressor ONLY for the Grex, the small pancakes or small twin tanks will work adequately!

I have a comparable pancake compressor and it works great with the critter sprayer. In fact I find it works better if you turn it down.

I use a Nagaoka MP-110 cartridge. Very good sound. Recommended by Don Lindich in Star Tribune, Minneapolis.
