Hi,
I bought an Aldi Compressor nearly three years ago, and it is still going strong. The kit of tools were an extra when I got the compressor. Today though, I bought the Air Drill. These are good quality tools.

Drat,

We had a local leaflet drop which advertised this but didn't include some of the detail. So I assumed it wasn't what I wanted. Now I realise with the spray gun, it was.


Grrr

Does anyone know how much CFM it produces? I have a rather large nail gun that requires 7CFM. :?:

According to the info on the advert and googles calculator:

270 (litres / minute) = 9.53496001 (cubic feet) per minute so you should be fine.

270 l/min is a very "academic" number the compressor is not likely to reach in real use. As far as I know, this number is calculated according to the piston displacement and the rpm. I guess that the Aldi unit effectively delivers apporx. 4 cfm at a pressure of 90 psi.

Hope this helps,

Christian

I have a 24lt sip and that is perfectly adequate for any nail gun because you only use the air in short bursts that is stored in the chamber.
The problem comes when you want to spray then you need a constant supply of air and the machine is constantly trying to keep up
