How long does it take for this compressor to reach max PSI in the 1.6 gallon tank?

Depends on what pressure you start from. I think it goes from 0 to max in about 1 minute and is super quiet.

Not sure would guess a 1/2 gallon or 1.9 liters. It works great have had it for a month. Would suggest getting quick release if you have more than one airbrush. It kicks on and off a little more than I would like but I'm using it quite heavily. If you flip the switch on the compressor in the up position it will shut off when it hits the desired pressure put it in the down position if you don't want it to shut off. Hope that was helpful.

JD, I am not an expert on this matter. However, my experience with the tool is that I have used it on as small a unit as 3 gallon tank. Further, I would think the issue is better defined as efficiency, e.g., does your compressor have at least a 100lb capacity, and whether or not the 2 gallon tank will cause occasional delay while it builds pressure again. Sorry I can not be more definitive.

depends on the balancer and how tight it is. I'd run the compressor at what ever tank pressure will consistently read 90psi with the tool running, probably 100 psi or more. I wouldn't go lower than 4.5-5 CFM, but it'll want more like 10-15 cfm under full load. Compressor ratings are for constant usage, your usage is momentary for an impact wrench. I have a 33gal compressor that'll do about 4.9 cfm and that's adequate. Next compressor is going to be a 60-80 gal though, but not specifically for this tool.

I have no idea how long it takes. When I unpacked this Chinese made product, it had something broken and leaked air (pressure regulator I think). I took it to the DeWalt service center which told me not only did they have no idea when they could get the parts, but questioned even if they could get parts. So I returned it and bought a Bostich air compressor. I am thoroughly satisfied with the Bostitch and don't ever plan to buy a DeWalt product again, though I have previously owned good ones.

No bigger than the tank is it will probably work but it will run all the time. Also depends on the cfm (cubic feet per minute) but with 6 gallon of air reserved when the level drops on the air tank size of 6 gallon the compressor will kick on so heavey duty cleaning/blowing will run out of air in the tank pretty quickly. also depends on how high you have the copressor line side set to, 120 PSI is probably maximum it will run out of air pretty quickly and constant blowing will not be able to substain itself very long.

DONT BUY IT it is a pos! no size compressor (we have up to an industrial 10hp with a 400 gal tank) works with mine and half the time won't even turn with up to 150 psi DONT BUY IT waste of $ and aa continuing frustration in spite of having a new tool rebuilt still does not work if you still want one give me three six oh a 3 oh 3 call I will1 four sell three mine cheap2!

The Gallon Capacity Of The Compressor Is Irrelevant. What You Really Need To Consider Is The Air Supply Rate. The Manual Specifies That At 100 Nails Per Minute You Need To Supply 8.7 CFM. At 50 Nails Per Minute, Then Half That Air Rate.

you need to get a bigger compressor. To run those type of air tools I would suggest at least 33 gal for constant pressure.

Yes. You should have a 6 gallon or larger compressor. Mine is 3 gallons and I had to wait for the compressor mto recharge.

I would think not. It is not a high enough pressure compressor, imho, and you would need to constantly recharge it. Would take forever. Maybe one with a larger tank would do the trick.

Simple answer in no, I don't think so. Look at the cfm that your compressor will deliver which is 2.75 cfm and a working pressure of 43-to-50 psi; air consumption of 5 cubic feet per minute for the paint gun. I'm using a 3.0 HP compressor with a 15 gallon tank and it works well.

It seems to siphon @ a little over a gallon per minute, so 3-4 minutes. Best guess.

I have used a 5 gallon tank (with a custom-built fitting) to blow out my 6-zone residential sprinkler system, but it took nearly 2 hours to complete due to the need to frequently close off the airflow in order to allow the compressor's tank to refill. Don't even think of trying it with a pancake compressor! What should be used is a 2-stage industrial compressor, such as those used by automotive body shops for painting cars and running high volume air tools.

Depends on how fast one works it. I've been using it on the regular 5 gallon apprx. 4 scfm at 90 psi compressor just fine. You may consider upgrading your air supply if you have more than one guy shooting.

The max pressure says it's 150 PSI... But when I tested it got around 140 PSI! But when it's close to the 150 PSI according to the pressure gauge then it gets restarted.If you do offroading, it's a really good compressor and you can permanently install it in your truck. It can withstand water, mud... you name it... if it get's damage get another one!

I have a 2 1/2 gal tank and prob takes around 5 minutes. I have never timed it though.
