Hi



Here I was already to get a Husk compressor when I can across an oil free

Porter Cable compressor with the following specs:



Noise 82dba

Tank  26 gal

Max Pressure 175 psi

Two stage, direct drive, twin cylinder

3 year warranty

1.6 running HP motor

Model CPFC2TV3525VP



This is also a bit cheaper than the Husky VT6315. 



Does anyone have experience with Porter Cable products (and perhaps this

model in particular)?



Cheers

Oil less?

Run away! Run away!

It is pretty loud to boot!

Porter cable generally makes good stuff, but I'd recommend

avoiding an oil free compressor.  You'll likely be happier

with an oiled model, especially with cast iron cylinders,

as they're quieter, and will probably last much longer too.

You also don't need anything over 110-125 psi for the plane build.

That Husky is a great unit - I'd go for that one.

If you absolutely need a vertical than you'll do fine with this but for the 

same money, if space allows, I would encourage another Porter-cable- but in 

the Craftsman quise the #00919541000,



SCFM Delivery At 40 psi   8.6 SCFM

SCFM Delivery At 90 psi   6.8 SCFM



compared to your choice

SCFM Delivery At 40 psi     5.6 SCFM

SCFM Delivery At 90 psi     5.1 SCFM



same price but the best CFM I have found. Just something to consider.

Is anybody building an aircraft? The last 50+ emails have been the same 

compressor subject.

Gotta wonder huh David? I'm wiring so my compressor has been quite silent, but does anyone know of a pneumatic RG-400 connector crimper? My Radio Shack one is a bear to squeeze

It's obvious that all the problems in the construction of the RV-10 have been solved. Any of you newbies want to ask about shimming up the nose ribs on the VS & HS or SOMETHING besides hot, compressed air.



Hey....What kinda primer youse guys and gals using?

I would be surprised if you get an oiless hat makes it through the

entire project.  They have a bad tendency to burn up after a few hundred

hours.  And 82db is quite loud, like ear plug loud if it's in the same

room being used regularly.
