Sarah,

I think just about any compressor will run a Lindsay AirGraver because they use so little air and very little is bled off as there is with the GRS tools. The compressor you mentioned has a six liter tank. With that tank filled you should be able to engrave for a few hours without having to turn the compressor back on. If you hook your airgraver to a 20 oz paint ball gun tank you can engrave for 2-4 hours with it depending on your stroke setting. 20 oz is .6 liters.

My compressor has a 15 gallon (57 liter) tank. I turn it on and fill the tank then turn it off so it does not automatically turn itself on. I can engrave for about a week before I turn it back on to refill the tank. By doing this way I don't get startled when the compressor kicks on.

Regards,

Roger

As said, most likely any compressor will work.
Thing is, oiless is better otherwise you need to have a filter on it, also small tanks need re-filling more often...

So, you either need an expensive silent one or a bigger tank.

Mine is 24ltr, cheap but noisy as hell, but it takes a couple of minutes to fill up (then turn off till empty) & it runs all day or all week depending on use.
Try searching for mecafer which is what i have (maybe your local hardware store has some)? around €100 only.

thank you guys for all the help!

[Jonessa]

I just ordered my Classic and my compressor I am like a little kid a few days before christmas right now !

Remember that that 20oz paintball tank is (mostly) full of liquid CO2 that exands to a much greater volume of gas.

That said, my setup with a 10 gallon tank daisy chained off of the compressor's 2 gallon tank only comes on about once a day using my Classic with foot pedal.

Howdy, I am new here and wish everyone have a great new year.http://www.handengravingforum.com/images/smilies/top%20smiles/thankyou%5B1%5D.gif

thanks guys! My compressor came today. it is a bit loud but i emptied out my entire walk in closet, it is now my "compressor room" to try to cut down on the noise a bit. Though thankfully I live above a bar and they dont care if I am making a racket at three in the morning with all of my hammering and compressor noises.:)
