Hi all,
I wanted to go ahead and buy a compressor for the air assist on my Universal V-460 which is supposed to be delivered on Monday.:D I will primarily be doing vector cutting so I know I need one, but don't want more than I need.
From reading all the many previous posts I could find here it appears that that others may be using a Harbor Freight 93657. I actually went and looked at this compressor and it looks inadequate. I also looked online at the 34843 model that another poster mentioned, but my local HF didn't stock that one. It only specifies 2 cfm @ 30 psi.
I also stopped at Sears to look at them in person and the salesperson tried to sell me a $400 35 gallon with 10.5 cfm. Overkill to say the least.
Could any of you verify that you use one of the two Harbor Freight models with a Universal laser? Otherwise, there are a few cheap ones on Craigslist I might as well check out. I have to go cut a hole in the wall for the exhaust now; wish me luck!
