Title: Re: Iwata Air Compressors?
Post by: steamboatmodel on June 20, 2010, 12:56:37 PM

A bit off topic, but how do you rate the Iwata unit? How low does it go in pressure? One has been recommended to my daughter for her Makeup course. I have only used Badger and Campbell ones.
Regards,
Gerald.

Hi,
I bought it whilst on a course at airbrushes.com as they gave a nice discount.  its the same compressor as used on the course and we regularly ran it at 5psi.  i have a video of the engine on 5psi from the compressor.  this is the model

Thanks Jim,
Hi Ian, That's the one (with a 120volt motor) that they are recommending for my daughters cosmetics course. I had told her that she could borrow one of mine, but I think I can convince the mother in law to chip in and we will get her the Iwata. I had listen to the video and it sure is much quieter than any of mine.
Thanks,
Gerald.
