Air Compressors
smo:
Paul - why belt driven, are they much better than direct drive?
also finding one with 12CFM free air is er, difficault without spending £500+, my budget is ideally £250-300.
Tiki Al:
a mate of mine just got a Clarke SE16C150 (OL) nice bit of kit, got it from machine mart on a vat free day so was just in the high end of your budget and should be more than able to do the jobs your after as he bought it for the same reasons, and as i seem to remember you saying like you he's an engineer so he's looked into it a great deal before he made his mind up :)
smo:
Hi Al, you remember correctly, i am indeed (by qualification) an engineer so am a bit anal about some things, i just dont see the point in buying one that only just manages, or cant do some of the things (like plasma cutter) i will want in the future.
I've just missed a recent machinemart vat free day too, which is a pain!
Tiki Al:
LOL didn't want to say that myself, must be an engineers trate, seems like you have the same uses as my mate and i know he wouldn't have got it if it had not done all the stuff you mentioned and you both seem to have the same budget. any luck with your decision making for your next project ?
smo:
Aaah, well thats what this is all in aid of...looks like i might have a buyer, so forging ahead, i've cleared the garage, building a car port outside and getting some air tools to make the job easier :D
