Default Re: Would this work?

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
