I'm looking for a compressor to use with the Paasche Air Eraser (ie mini sandblaster), would this be a good choice? Just looking to etch some glass (gifts &amp; for myself, nothing major)

That kind of depends on what you want to with your new mini sand-blaster :) If you're doing small work here-or-there, it's a good choice; if you're doing anything heavy-duty or prolonged, it might not cut it. Also, this little guy likes to kinda rumble around: I had to use masking tape to keep it in place so it didn't rumble its way off the table, haha. You may also need an adapter for the hose, as I'm not sure if it will match Paasche fittings; for that reason, I recommend looking for a package deal from Paasche if they have one.

Yes. This gun is a high volume low pressure gun. Small projects like your talking about is perfect for the air compressor your using.

Any compressor will work, I use a PC Pancake for small jobs and a PC Job Boss for larger ones.The reason is simple, I prefer to have a larger capacity so that the compressor is not running all of the time.Good Luck

You will need a compressor. Make sure you get one designed for the Paasche because I didn't and my compressor works great, but I spent an entire day getting the fittings for the hoses. Each brand uses different size hoses and fittings at the ends.

In short, I don't know. I have never used this tool for this purpose. I have cut a lot of block with this, and a Horrid Fright grinder (which I have been unable to kill) and not had problems. Given what happened to your PC, I would have my compressor fairly close and blow the thing out every 10-15 minutes, or so. (This will also give the tool a bit of time to cool down.) Good luck with your project.

Absolutely! This airbrush is by far my favorite. If you're going to buy this amazing airbrush just make sure you also purchase a good compressor. I would also advise watching some videos on YouTube to really get the theory and techniques down. It takes significant time and practice, like any other kind of painting.

If they fix some of the design flaws, and the machine is well maintained it could be used on very soft metals if a strong enough endmill is used. Glass etching is better done with a laser head rather than an endmill, and acrylic could be engraved /etched with either. The troubles I have experienced have to do with the translation of the head, and the inaccurate positioning that resulted.

Hey Nick , I'm not sure what your wanting to use this for but it is a very good airbrush compressor for airbrushing .

I bought it to etch some granite and have a fairly light duty compressor - 7 gallon 100 - 125 psi. It barely made a mark. It might do the job if you have a more robust compressor, though not sure.

Not sure if it would produce enough air because I have never used a airbrush and do not know what it requires. But have used it on a nail gun and if used a long time with out delay I would let it catch up until it turned off. You need to look at the cubic air per second in the specifics.

not for an air brush the one piston is a small pulse..you should consider a small compressor with small tank

I have no idea? I am assuming that it wont unless it is a very very fine powder almost like baby powder... either way it will ruin the airbrush. Maybe a cheap airbrush without a needle in it would work ( can get a cheap Badger airbrush at any hobby store for about $10 ) or buy a sand blastig gun...but that may require a larger compressor due to the needed airflow to siphon the media. Again I would assume it wont because the compressor cant supply that amount of airflow.

Nah it's harder to find vac oil locally. People say you can use the compressor oil and it's the same thing but I don't think it is. The colors are usually drastically different. I would just get a case of robbin air vacuum oil it's cheap like 45-50 bucks and a case of 12 will last you plenty of runs.

this model wouldn't be powerful enough. do a search on the name and see the other compressor's that they offer. I can say that it is a quality product.

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.

The compressor is really small. I thought it' was a good deal, but the air brush is hard to clean and finicky. I started airbrushing on the 1980s so I know how these things work. I'd go more upscale if you can. So, yes, too small-- and not very reliable.

The compressor has worked well with the pneumatic tools. I found it on sale later at Lowes.
