Hello all ...
I have a few questions and hope to get on my way.
I want to get into HVLP for my woodworking projects.
I was considering the Wagner 5000 HVLP sprayer, but I am not crazy about the plastic.
I need to keep the cost around $200. I know that limits me from really good stuff, but that's my budget talking to me!
I have several 3 stage turbines on Craigslist that I am considering. They are around $100 for used.
One is a Turbinaire TSG-8993Xa CapSpray CS5100, and a American Turbine-953. All good units as I understand.
I will be doing a little latex spraying, but the bulk of my spraying will be stain or oil based.
As I understand, stage 3 is adequate for latex (possibly with up to a 10% thinning).
However one of the turbines does not come with hose and spray gun, and the others are a maybe.
My main question is this ...
Can I get one of the HVLP spray guns from Harbor Freight and hook it to a turbine? Maybe the purple ones or a step or two up from them.
The HVLP spray gun from Harbor Freight is designed to run from a compressor as I understand it.
Is it possible to make that connection to turbine?
I have not actually seen a turbine hose, but understand it has fittings similar to a garden hose. True or not?
I need to figure out if it is possible to connect that spray gun or one similar to it to the turbine hose.
Confused? I am!
Any comments on the Turbinaire, American Turbine, or CapSpray? Good units? Or no?
Anyway, thanks for listening.
Bob
