Air Compressor for Makita AF600 Nailer

[Bob Buckle]

Hi,
I am thinking of purchasing a Makita AF600 Nailer, can anyone recommend a Compressor to run it.
Fairly portable would be favourable, it doesn't have to be Makita.
Any recommendation/advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob.

I bought a cheap aldi special which has been fine for cleaning jobs, pumping up tyres etc etc but the pressure difference between switch off and switch back on is so great, that the nail gun does not drive the nails fully home for the last few nails before the compressor switches back on.
A more sophisticated pressure switch would possibly have both pressure and hysteresis controls.

Thanks Myfordman. Appreciate your comments.

hi Bob.. well if you want to run a nailer, you'll need an air compressor that has a capacity to deliver enough air.. you may want to try Senco PC1010 or DEWALT D55153.. cost of such an air compresor is around $200.. you can go here myairtools[.]net/?s=nailer and see what air compressors are supporting nailers...

Thanks Allistir, I will look at those.
Bob.
