Compressor advice for Minigraff 44 Underpinner

[Redman10]

Hello

I've acquired a Alfamacchine Minigraff 44 Underpinner however there's no compressor. So am sseeking advice on what people think is the best compressor available use with this underpinned.

Thanks

You will want a silient compressor. A bambi is a good choice, the bigger the better as you will start using it to blow out the frames then get a pneumatic staple gun.

A "noisy" compressor is OK if you can locate it out of earshot.

For many years ours was housed in the "smallest room", we always switched off on entering though. My visiting brother, unaware of this convention, was made aware of our arrangement one day as he sat in quiet contemplation.

Or if you use ear defenders when you use the compressor.

Ours is in our cellar, can't hear a thing in the shop and I like quiet, can't even stand the radio on, otherwise I can't hear the voices and I get lonely.

I have being using this with the new version of the mingraff 44 (it has a different name now).

quite loud but needs no oil, I just switch it off when not in use. works well so far.

Thank you for all your interesting replies - with regards the Bambi ones has anyone any knowledge to of this one Bambi 75/150 silent oil free air compressor.
I want to use air staplers too but doubt they will be used at the same time. - thanks

Yes we had a 75/150 which was ex-dentist and used it for 4 years and replaced it with a bambi 100 last year.

It was used to run an Alfamacchine Multi Channel, plus chop saw (Inmes) and air tools. It struggled in later years but that was because it was totally *****d. The new one is fine.
