A:  Yes, I believe it would

A:  I believe it would handle that as it has 6.5 cfm at 90 psi and 6.9 cfm at 40 psi. However it has a 50% duty cycle which means it should only run 30 minutes out of every hour.

A:  Thank you for your question on the MAC5200 air compressor. This tool has a Powerful 3.0 HP motor produces 6.5 CFM at 90 PSI for increased productivity. Please check your specs on your drill owners manual for combability.

A:  It should. It has 6.5 CFM at 90 PSI. While I haven't done any drilling, I have used my 5200 for several jobs that required extended air use.

A:  Yes, I run air tools on mine all the time.

A:  Follow the instructions 

A:  There is generally no need to change an air filter on a compressor. Blow it off with air when dusty.

A:  Thank you for your question on the MAC5200 Air compressor. Disassemble the air filter assembly and replace the air filter part # 171006-E.

A:  I don't think so!

A:  "Thank you for your question on the MAC5200 air compressor. All Makita manufactured air compressors are recommended to be operated on not more than a 50% duty cycle. This means an air compressor that pumps air more than 50% of one hour is considered misuse because the air compressor is undersized for the required air demand. Please check the specs on your spray gun before using. "

A:  yes

A:  Not sure, we use it and run 4 shingle guns at a time. I would think it may not be able to keep enough pressure built up.

A:  Most definitely!

A:  Yes, but it depends on the amount of volume airflow.  I don’t use it for that, but it will do it. The specs or on the Makita website. Also, you must use a 3/8 inch air hose for more airflow, and also a high flow connector at the unit, both ends of the hose to get more airflow!  I love this unit, it’s the perfect size for me.

A:  Thank you for your question on the MAC5200. I would check your tool for specs before using. The MAC5200 is engineered for low noise, high output and less maintenance, and delivers industrial power and results with improved durability under tough job site conditions. This tool has a Powerful 3.0 HP motor produces 6.5 CFM at 90 PSI for increased productivity.

A:  It depends on the air efficiency of the tool and duration of use.  This compressor’s tank is not large enough for long duration runs. Look at you tools CFM usage to determine the need. I’d guess you need a 2-3 HP 220 volt unit

A:  Sorry, I'm not sure. You sould contact Makita for that spec

A:  Yes

A:  Can you run a 1 inch impact with a 3/8 air hose? Most likely not.

A:  It will not run a 1 inch impact wrench. For that you will need a compressor that can produce 10 CFM at 90 PSI and this only produces 6.5 CFM

A:  Thank you for your question on the Mac 5200 3.0 HP* Big Bore Air Compressor. This tool has a Powerful 3.0 HP motor produces 6.5 CFM at 90 PSI for increased productivity.

A:  Thank you for your question on the MAC5200 3.0 HP* Big Bore™ Air Compressor. For your safety and proper usage please refer to your owners manual.

A:  I have run my air compressor with plastic box covering it before - the area around the compressor was much smaller than a car trunk. It was fine but they get hot fast so you have to stop every 10 min or so and open it up and let them cool down.

A:  I believe it will no problem

A:  Yes. No problem with pressure and will meet standards.

A:  NO, to paint a complete car I would not recommend this .(But) YES you can get away with just painting a bumper or a 2 panel paint job.

A:  Thank you for your question. The MAC5200 is not recommended for paint spraying applications. You would need a compressor with a larger tank capacity than the MAC5200 has.

A:  The MAKITA 5.2 GAL. 3.0 HP compressor will certainly deliver all the air needed for running one or two nail guns and gives a quick cycle refill to keep up with handle both guns. When you are asking if the compressor will handle painting a car it is out of my expertise as a carpenter, cabinet maker and a welder but I asked a friend of mine who works at a body shop and did some searching on the net to double check what my friend was saying. I will relate what I found for requirements fo painting a car below. My first impression before checking sources was correct in that you would need a larger capacity air compressor to do a whole car because in my experience with finishes for woodworking it works for me as I finish one cabinet at a time. In your case with a car, you would be fine IF you were just doing TOUCH-UP with the Makita 5.2gal. which puts out 6.5 CFM @ 90 PSI you would be fine because all you would need for touch-up is 5 CFM@ 90 PSI. BUT you are going to be doing a whole car and with this model you woul have to wait for it to refill after you have depleted the air (even though it refills quickly) the compressor would be mostly running the whole time you would be spraying and would have troube with overspray especially when doing the clear coat. I did some checking for you and this is what I found: For the best car painting final output, you should ensure the air compressor has a CFM rating of 14 to 18 per unit, which does the painting job excellently despite being a bit expensive. However, for minor car issues such as retouch, you can use an air compressor will as little as 5 CFM rating.Oct 23, 2020 The compressor they are talking about will also be in the 16 gal. and up. Hope this helps a little.

A:  You have enough cfm but not the volume. Should probably get a station 40-80 Gallo

A:  I have a 20 amp breaker for mine. Start up requirements for an electric motor are usually higher than running usage.

A:  You could have a faulty breaker (they do sometimes go bad) or if you have a older house where the wireing may be wired for older appliances that didn't require much amperage in which case the wiring is probably 16ga. wire. Outlets now especially for the heavier draw in amps for the 3 hp should be at least 12ga. Try another outlet that you know that nothing else is running on that particular circuit. If ithe compressor is new and it's triped the breaker or breakers from no matter what outlet or circuit you use then there might be a problem with the unit itself and would contact Makita with the problem. Hope this helps.

A:  Thank you for your question on the mac5200. The minimum requirement on this tool is 15 amps a circuit breaker is preferred. Make sure that your tool is not connected to a power chord that is past its limits.
