Rolair makes some great little compressors.

Check out the JC10. There have been some reviews on here recently.

I am picking one up in a month or so.

 

rolair jc10

use the search bar, there are quite a few threads on the subject....

 

I know it's not a twin stack and it looks like a monster to deal with but I have this one and REALLY like it. I just did about 1200 sq ft of texture with a hopper and this thing rocked it with no problem. 200 psi and recovery is great. It isn't that bad to haul around and it's not too loud. It isn't as quiet as a cheap little compressor that won't do anything but blow up tires but it isn't any worse than a chop saw or the like.

I can third the JC10. If your a one man show, odds are its the only compressor you need for nailing tasks.

 

Define "small".

 

We,ve been very happy with the Rolair JC10 and our Makita MAC700. We use them for finish work, both are quiet and supply plenty of air.

The guys complain that the Makita is a little heavier than the Rolair but that has been the only complaint. Hope this helps.

 

Take the head off of it and clean out all the carbon and crap out, your compressors fine:thumbsup:

 

Good call DWB.:thumbsup:

 

Will that jc10 supply enough for an occasional paslode framer?

 

Yes, I use my Paslode PF350 with mine. I also use mine when there are two of us running trim guns. It has had Zero problems keeping up with both.

 

but this one dose:thumbsup:

 

i hear them D WAL are cheap Chinese knock offs

 

The new Fine Homebuilding mag just had a rewiew on one tank compressers

 

i use the mac 700 great little compressor but you need one of these like i have:sad:

 

Settle down there, Popeye. :whistling

 

I also happen to be in the market for a new air maker. I'm 99% sure I'll pull the trigger on this one next Friday.

Roll Air

 

We've got a couple of those. Nice machines. :thumbsup:

 

I was ready to buy a new A/C but then I pulled the head off and cleaned the carbon off the reed valves and I'm good to go now:whistling
And I have that wonderful warm feeling of fixin it:blink:

 

What's next are you supposed to clean the air filter and drain the water too???:whistling

I'll have to check mine out I thought I was wearing her out

 

I think he goes down the road and has Hilda wax it:laughing:

 

that may be a different tool thread in a different forum paulies on:blink:

 

Me thinks he's been on that same site.:whistling

 

Guess I shouldn't double dose on my Sat. Prozac.

OK, back to compressors.

 

Talk about getting off topic...

 

It's just my job here.

This place has been on the mundane side lately. Thought I'd spice er up.

 

is that a problem for you?

 

No... just funny. You get those arms from hanging vinyl?

 

oh no the topic cops:surrender:

 

Can they ban you here for getting OT, or do they just nuke entire threads & harass members into complying like at that other site?

 

i guess, Leo can do anything he pleases here:shutup:

 

struble, what you doing hang'n round here?
heard your out on OT bail early with good time...

 

oh..ah.. yea from vinyl:shifty:

 

Must be the shake panels:laughing:

 

ok ..that was a good one:clap:

 

Ok back to compressors, the Roll air JC10 is nice but I'm looking about 4.5 gal capacity that can run more than just a trim gun, anyone use a Roll air twin hot dog style? My Emglo twin tank can have trouble keeping up with my framing nailer sometimes. DeWalt compressors are the same as Emglo I believe? Rigid is fast but I have heard some reliability problems with them? Makita twin tank is nice too with fast recovery but damm heavy.
