Hello all,
Let me start out with a Thanks in Advance. Been doing some lurking and reading on the forum lately, so I finally joined. I just ordered a Epilogue 24 on Friday. I ordered the Blower from Penn State (the DC3) yesterday. The Laser and everything are going to be inside in my office (Formal Living Room), so I am trying to go with options that are on the quieter side. I'll save my plans for the Blower/filtration setup for another post, and yes, I have gone through Dan's thread a couple times already.
So here is where I am going crazy from to many options.....the Air compressor. I do have a nice large one outside in the garage, but plumbing it through the attic into the family room is not a option I am considering. I want a quieter model, I keep seeing a lot of talk about Gast and Thomas units....but which ones? I was just on the Gast website and there is no reference to Sound levels....I was Eyeballing the California Air Tools 1650A, but then I saw a life span on 3000 hours being mentioned.....and I do not see a whole lot of talk about them from people who actually have them, so I am not sure about that option anymore........So I am coming to ya'll for advice and recommendations. what CFM should I be looking at? I know it is not as big a factor as other Lasers since there is no air curtain.
I am surfing on Grainger's website and seeing some models listed at a sound volume of 63 db for some of the Gast ones.....To many options!!!!
