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 : note, needs oil filter
• Pumping up tires
• Quickly cleaning swarf from tools (wear eye protection)
• Surprising Tom Scott on his way out of the toilet
• Attaching tools like shears, wrenches, nailers etc : note, needs oil added to air
• Cleaning dust from inside electronics (wear eye protection)
• 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)
