Anyone using one of the smaller available pancake (or other) air
compressors for paint/finish spraying of smaller woodworking and metal
projects? I'm wondering the benefit of getting something like this or
would it simply introduce it's own problems in use (ex. a requirement
for intermittent use rather than continual spraying on larger
projects, inconsistent spray velocity requiring continual adjustments,
etc.). I was going to pick up either a small, oil-free Camp Hausfield
or Excell compressor but began wondering of a slight step up to
accomodate this desire for spraying. thanks

Take a look at the sprayers you want to use. Most, if not all, will have
a SCFM rating on them. Buy a compressor that meets or exceeds that
rating. It's often a good idea to spend $20 more on something that is
more than you need *now* because you may need it *later.*

Old computers are getting to be a lost art. Here at Uncreative Labs, we
still enjoy using the old computers. Sometimes we want to see how far a
particular system can go, other times we use a stock system to remind
ourselves of what we once had.
