Pledge: Compressor

The item

This compressor would be a great addition to the workshop. They are great for a whole range of tasks:

• Spray painting
• Pumping up tires
• Quickly cleaning swarf from tools
• Cooling your self during summer sorry to be boring but these are dangerous. serious disciplinary offence in most workshops.
• Surprising Tom Scott on his way out of the toilet
• Attaching tools like shears, wrenches, nailers etc
• Cleaning dust from inside electronics
• Cleaning crap from lasercutter cooling tubes
• Attach a pressure vessel and you have a cannon!

With the built in chamber it can provide a greater, consistent and variable supply of compressed air over a "put put" style of compressor currently found in the space.

Additional information

Drying the air and other notes Auto drain (because nobody will remember otherwise, and the tank will rust)
