Hi,

I have just got a compressor and am now looking at getting some air 
tools and probably a spay gun..

The compressor is a Airmate T3/100-SRB with the following specs..

MODEL: T3/100-SRB. (230V) : 06634
RECEIVER SIZE LITRES: 100
MOTOR HP: 3.0 (2.2KW)
AIR DISPLACEMENT CFM: 13.0 (368 L/MIN)
MAXIMUM FREE AIR DELIVERY CFM: 9.1 (258 L/MIN)
FREE AIR AIR DELIVERY CFM: 7.8 (221 L/MIN)
MAXIMUM PRESSURE PSI; 131 (9 BAR)

I know that when choosing tools and specifically a spray gun I need to 
make sure there the tools don't require more air than the compressor can 
provide..

So the question is which flow rate should I be using for choosing tools 
since the specs above give three different flow rate values??

Also if anyone has any suggestions of sites that have good prices on air 
tools please let me know the addresses..

Thanks..

You need a compressor with a bigger receiver tank otherwise you're goig 
to be spending alot of time waiting for it to refill.

For just a home workshop I think it should be ok, I am just using it for 
my own DIY activities and if I have to wait on it avery now and then its 
fine..

Have a look at: www.machinemart.co.uk

The air requirements are given for each tool / accessory BUT some of the
figures can be optimistically misleading. Ask for confirmation of figures
before you buy.

Thanks for the information..

I will look for tools that need 7.8cfm or less..

I presume I could use tools with higher requirements but they would 
drain the tank faster than the pump could replace the air so I would 
have to wait for it to fill every now and then..

Yes. Nailguns are fine for that sort of issue, impact wrenches are iffy,  
drills useless & sprayguns are a disaster if the compressors underpowered.

Yea, for a spray gun I would make sure and get one with a 7cfm or less 
requirement..

For the most part I will try and make sure that everything I get 
requires less than 7cfm but if a tool requires 8 or 9 it should be ok..

Briefly :-) If it's a sander,die grinder or anything you use  
semicontinously then no.

found that out the hard way :)
drill is ok, the grinder is ok, but they all need serious on off periods as 
the moment you turn them on the air tends to drop somewhat rapidly
you will also find that the compressor is almost always on when you use them 
because the tanks will just empty really REALLY fast

the one that kills it though is the reciprocating saw, I get possibly 20 
seconds out of it and then it's just bollocked

it's wicked for things like ratchets and guns and even the chisels do major 
damage while the tanks are pumped up

What size compressor are you using?
...and what is the FAD CFM rating of the compressor and the CFM 
requirements of the tools?

Just so I cane get an idea..

Thanks

I think it's got a 50 litre tank but let me find out what model it is first

Clarke air 50
225 l/min
1.5 hp
that's about it, the rest is covered in blue paint :(

Mine is a 100l 3hp so should handle continued loads a little better.. 
Obviosly it will still drain I am sure, just maybe not as quick..

Thanks for the information..

100 litres is a decent-sized tank for home use, though even my 200litre
tank drains and runs the motor when I'm spraying (DeVilbiss JGA gun). As
others have said, some tools will be OK, some will struggle. The FAD
figure is a better guide. You have as big a motor as you can use on
single-phase anyway.

I use my pair of old Tiger 35s in a secure enclosure _outside_ my garage
to supply my air-fed mask too - best investment I've made. Stops me
poisoning myself!
