Compressor and retractable air line.

[richyb66]

My mate Mark wants to sell his compressor and I though it might interest someone here. 

Not sure how many cfm it is but as can be seen from the pictures it's twin cylinder with a big tank so should be up to most jobs. 

Fully working and comes with a water trap and a 15m retractable air hose. 

He's looking for £100 for it. He's near Skegness but works near Nuneaton so can bring it there if it helps but not until the first week in March. 

Pm me if interested and I'll pass his number on.

Bugger me that’s cheap for a two stage compressor. 

[richyb66]

Yes, which is why I'd like to see someone in the club get a bargain.

I don’t need one and it’s too far from me. I have a twin piston compressor but single stage. Twin and triple stage compressors are so much better than single stage. A real work horse that. Quieter than single stage and higher CFM too.

Any idea of the motor H.P  Rich?  That will give a very good indication of possible CFM.   3 HP would be good -- 2 is O.K  any smaller & not suitable for much above tyre inflation.

The plates are a bit faded, does this help.

Thanks Rich, for others information ( I already have a 3 H.P compressor ) I believe the motor is 1.5 H.P  as  shown on rating plate.  Not to say this unit is poor but it is in the lower order of compressors --- size of tank is of little note unless your job in hand requires just a short delivery time at high pressure.  The motor will cycle less frequently with a larger tank but the compressor delivery ( not the swept volume ) is the most important detail -- which goes hand in hand with the motor power.
