A compressor without a tank is about as useful as a hunting dog without legs.[;)]
Get the tank, you’ll never regret it.
Tom may have found the answer at his Wal-Mart.
Seems like a great deal for the money and it’s less then I paid for just my small compressor. All you would need in addition would be a filter/trap and maybe a better regulator that will afford you the fine, low pressure control.
I have a small compressor and I added a small tank. The tank reduces the pulsing of the airbrush, giving a much better paint job…Go for the tank!
Amen!
I bought a 55 gallon tank compressor at Tractor Supply last year, and I already need a bigger one!!!
Also, make sure that you get a water seperator, and regulate the air supply down to about 10-15 psi (depending on the airbru***hat you are using)
Although thinking about the start of my post, I have never run out of air while painting my trains (and I’m in O scale!) Where I have problems is sandblasting and running a dual action sander, both high CFM applications.
