Beginner compressor?

silentaire scorpian
iwata sprint jet
one from harbour freight (you also need pressure reg)
but avoid aztek stuff

i have the badger Whirlwind 80-1 which is a great little compressor (thanks to Sgt. Andy on this forum). Badger doesnt make it anymore but they make the Whirlwind 80-2 which is an upgrade and has a little more umph. I love how quiet these things are comparatively, so if that's an issue for you, give it a try.

With all due respect, your anti-Aztek rants are getting tiresome.
Aztek does not even manufacture their own compressors so that statement is nothing more than your own bias and has no basis in fact.

Honestly, go to Harbor Freight. *REMEMBER I don't work for 'm or affiliated*

They had one that looked like Whirlwind 80, with a regulator, for $60.

Or get a CO2 cannister delivered to your house, with a regulator, buy the adaptor, and you have tons of good quality air :D

GO DUCKS...sorry Kight667 had to throw that in. I to am looking for a nice beginning compressor was thinking of this one. http://www.squadron.com/ItemDetails.asp?item=TS50204

I highly recommend that you buy a good quality compressor that will last. I made the mistake of buying an entry level cheep cmpressor and it didn't last. I bought an Iwata Sprintjet and have been very happy with it. It has a pressure regulator and is very quiet. I bought mine on E Bay but dixieart.com is an excellent source for this compressor BTW, avoid the Campbell Hausfeld Silent Air compressor unless you like to buy frequent replacements!

kinekx, no problem, i'm not a big beaver fan even though I'm an alumni and still live here

That's the compressor I was looking at as well...but I'll check out Harbor Freight, per ModelMann's recommendation

Thanks all!
