Q:CAN THIS ALSO BE USED WITH A PAINT SPRAYER ATTACHMENT?
by|Dec 12, 2019

Answer This Question

A:  You have to make sure the required pressure (psi) and flow (scfm) of the paint gun match the compressor. Some paint guns will work, but a lot will not work.

by|Dec 13, 2019

A:  I use it to paint depending on the amount of air you use you might have to wait for the pressure to build back up then continue to paint

by|Mar 6, 2020

    A:  Yes it will I use mine to paint it won’t keep up with continuous use but if you wait a wile for the pressure to build up it’s ready to go again adjust the regulator for the pressure you need to paint

    by|Dec 31, 2019

    A:  For a small project. But for painting a large room or house I don’t think it would keep up.

    Q:Can the compressor run a framing nail gun?

    Answer This Question

    A:  Yes as it is not continuous.

    by|Nov 28, 2019

    A:  I am sure it will work but you may have to wait for pressure to build back up depending on How fast you nail

    by|Mar 6, 2020

      A:  Yes

      by|Dec 18, 2019

        A:  The compressor output is 2.6 CFM @ 90 psi. You need to make sure the framing gun you are thinking about can operate at this flow. Not sure one exists. Looking at the online manual, DeWALT framing gun models starting DWF83 require 6.1 CFM @ 80 psi. I would not use these models with the pancake compressor.

        A:  You need to check CFM of your sprayer. The pancake puts out 2.5 to 3.7 CFM.

        A:  Looking at the Dewalt website, the compressor output is 3.7 SCFM @ 40 psi. Make sure the paint sprayer can operate at this airflow and pressure. I saw at least one sprayer on-line that would work. Depends on what size job you plan on tackling.

        A:  I say use something stronger

        by|Nov 24, 2019

        A:  I dont see why not , if you want it for your house

        by|Nov 25, 2019

          A:  Probably not the kind you are thinking of. According to what I've been told, it can be used to do small canister painting using the sprayers that run off of air pumps. But you need a pump/sprayer system to do things like paint your house.

          A:  Yes it can run a Paint Can type sprayer or HVLP, The airless type is its own type and no compressor is needed. The pressure on this compressor is up to 165 psi.

          A:  It will work with an air impact wrench, however, the job will go much faster with a bigger compressor.

          by|Nov 26, 2019

          A:  The output of the compressor is 2.6 SCFM @ 90 psi. You need to find a pneumatic wrench that can operate at this flow.

          by|Nov 28, 2019

          A:  I use mine with a 1/2” impact to remove wheels and it works fine

                A:  I finished my basement using plywood panel sheets (don't know how to dry wall). I used 18 gauge brad nails with no problems installing the panels. Also used the brad nailer for all trim including wood baseboards. The photo shows the work.

                by|Nov 2, 2019

                A:  You can use a brad nailer. 16 gauge nailer is over kill. Pre drill pilot holes if using screws or hammer and nails.
