While many smaller shop compressors weigh around 25 – 40 LBS (Depending on make an model). As small shop compressors are still larger then the majority of traditional airbrush compressors.įor Example, traditional Airbrush Compressors commonly weigh around 10 – 20 LBS (Without a tank). However, you do sacrifice movability to a degree.
The funny thing is, is under most circumstances you can get a small shop compressor for the same cost of a traditional “Airbrush compressor”, yet it far out performs the small “Airbrush compressor”. I didn’t want to worry about this, so I decided to skip the traditional rout and go with a small shop compressor instead.Īnd, Yes, you can use a traditional air compressor for airbrush use. I guess you could say the traditional airbrush compressor is overworked and under performs and the small shop compressor is under worked, and over performs. This is especially true if you spend a significant amount of time airbrushing… Because the more time spent airbrushing, the hotter these so called “Airbrush compressors” get.
Well, Most so called “Airbrush compressors” don’t have a tank, which requires the compressor motor to work continuously during use, which leads to extensive heat build up and later pre-mature failure of the unit… What do I mean by, “They struggle to keep up”? Simply because my research concluded that they struggled to keep up with the demand of most airbrush artists. To be honest, I never even given traditional airbrush compressors a chance. Well, after many hours spent researching the compressors on the market, I have come across a few compressors that are optimal for airbrush use. If your anything like me, you want the best bang for your buck.
