Senco Air Compresser ?

[Jon Haigwood]

Anybody have any experience with a Senco ? I picked this one up at Goodwill today for $40 seems to run great ,1/2 hp with 1.4 cfm

Lots of decent online reviews, occasional negative comments about build quality. The tank's kinda tiny, so I'd probably recommend getting a larger pressure reservoir if you want really well-regulated air pressure for airbrushing (but that's just me; there are probably loads of folks who can get by with that cute little tank). Air reservoirs are easy to cobble up from old propane tanks. A good dryer / filter and regulator mounted as far from the tank as you can conveniently get it (compressors heat air; hot air holds more water vapor; cooler air farther from the tank is easier for your water trap to dry effectively), and you should be good to go.

Yeah. Kinda like the picky way I write in actual English, with stuff like spelling and punctuation.

Was the draincock on the air tank open when you got it?  They need to be open after use to allow any moisture to evaporate or the tank may rust.
