I think this qualifies as a power tool since you plug it in.Im not asking about finishing just the tool (this is for the mods)
Anyways the Earlex 5000 is available at woodcraft for 349 with two needles. Its also available at Harbor Freight for 279 but it doesnt mention needles at all. Needles are 49.99 at woodcraft.
Anyone here who got theres from HF can tell me if it indeed has two needles? Alos on the wood whisperer site I think in the vodeo he mentioned it came with a cleaning kit but on WC it mentions they sell it.
I asked this question on finishing forum but didnt get an answer.
I want to buy one tommorrow or tuesday.

Thanks

Craig,

The Wood Whisperer has reviewed the Earlex 5000, and liked it a lot. Charles Neil also uses this sprayer. Check out their websites for more info.

Personally, I've been thinking about this turbine to replace my PC PS1. It seems to really stress my little pancake compressor. Be sure to let the Creek know your experience if you go ahead with the purchase.

I just got one from HF and it comes with just the 2mm (.08") needle. Other sizes are available directly from Earlex for $39.99. The cleaning kit was also included.

I haven't tried it yet, but am looking forward to trying it out on kitchen cabinets that i have almost completed.
