I think I may be in the market for a new compressor. Being a home hobbyist, I don't have the ability to have a 220V model. But, I'm spraying finishes with a Devilbis HPLV gun. It's been running okay on a Craftsman 30G compressor, but I think I finally killed it. CFM rating on this gun is 10-14 CFM at 25-45PSI. I know my little portable compressor can't handle it.
Or, if anyone has suggestions on an easy way to repair this compressor, please let me know. I've already replaced the started cap on it a month ago; it just seems it's not meant to cycle very often. Now the motor's just humming and sticking again, but it's a different noise than before when the cap burned up. I'm figuring taking it in and servicing it, and replacing parts, is probably going to cost more than it's worth.
So, if anyone has suggestions on a decent compressor that can give me 14CFM at 30PSI, please let me know.
