2.5 HP with Big Bore Engineered Pump
The MAC2400 is powered by a 2.5 HP motor. The Makita Big Bore engineered pump with cast iron cylinder has greater bore and stroke for increased compression, faster recovery and less noise. The cast iron construction is engineered for increased durability even under tough job-site conditions. The MAC2400 has an oil-lubricated pump and is equipped with a large automotive style filter for increased air intake and greater efficiency. The Big Bore oil-lubricated pump is also more efficient: the MAC2400 runs cooler and at half the RPM of most competitive units, resulting in greater motor and pump life and lower noise. The 4.2 gallon twin-stacked tank sustains an operating pressure of 130 PSI, and delivers 40PSI (4.8 CFM) and 90 PSI (4.2 CFM), enough for two nailers. The low AMP draw reduces instances of tripped breakers and voltage drop that can cause premature motor failure. The roll bar handle provides portability and additional protection, helping it withstand harsh jobsite environments. Additional features include a convenient oil drain and oil sight glass, a tank drain valve that supersedes standard petcock design for easier maintenance, and finned discharge tubing that dissipates heat more efficiently.

Questions & Answers

Question : What is a good safe level to set my air compressor when dusting computers?
I got tired of spending $10+ a month on canned air, so I bought an Air Compressor and the nozzle attachment with a trigger. I was told not to allow the compressor to shoot out too much air because it may damage the computer parts. What is a safe level to set the compressor (PSIs)?

Answer:
This is too good a question to pass up, so here goes,You either have a thousand computers to clean or you are in a terrible location (dust wise).So I figgered, heck, you can always use the compressor to use a pneumatic jackhammer when the dust gets so packed that ya gotta use it to loosen the petrified dust.Talk about over stocking mechanical supplies for something simpler.That's like getting a bulldozer to dig a small hole in the sand.;-)

Question : How does this air tank/compressor work?
So I have a 15lb. air tank which has three spiky things that air comes out of or goes into and a pressure gague and a release lever. I need to make it into an air compressor to fire a cannon (theatre thing). I don't have any idea how to power this. There are no plugs or cords or anything! Help, I'm feeling like an idiot.Actually, this is for shooting fake blood across a stage.

Answer:
those tanks are filled at a station that services and rents them, most have heillium for balloons but some are compressed air. they hold a great deal of air. Try a party store for info

Question : How much oil is needed for my air compressor for the first time?
I have a MotoMaster 5-gallon air compressor. I need to fill the part with oil so that it is inbetween the red circle. I have already used one bottle, and it is barely half way there. This is my first air compressor, so how much oil do i need to put in for the first time?

Answer:
It depends and it should tell you in the manual. But get more oil and fill it to where it should be and start er up.Happy New Year

Question : Does anyone think a harbor freight air compressor is good or stay away?

It also has a 7 scfm @ 40 and a 4.9 @ 90 and a 4.3 @ 115 is this a good air compressor from harbor freight. Or should i stay away from the brand.

Answer:
This is a very good product. I have many tools by this brand and never had any problems at all. I also have an air compressor and it works great. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Question : air compressor!?
i just threw a Nathan p3 train horn in my car, with a craftsman 5 gallon 150psi air tank to power it.but the thing is, i cant fill the tank with the compressor i have, and all the gas station compressors stop at 80 psi.i have a very old 175 psi portable 12volt car outlet compressor but it wont even start to fill the tank.will this work on filling the tankhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MASTER-FLOW-CYCLONE-12V-150-PSI-PORTABLE-AIR-COMPRESSOR_W0QQcmdZV iewItemQQcategoryZ43986QQihZ002QQitemZ120171305497QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVWi don't care about checking the stupid laws on train horns if its illegal or not!you are doing something illegal tooyou are in contact with a minor (17) online!

Answer:
Your craftsman compressor should do the work , maybe is not working right or you're setting the regulator to high, you must set it at 100psi in order to get more CFM's , keep in mind that these horns need a lot of cfm's to work properly not too much pressure. you can find a lot of info for an instalation in a car, with these people they have everything. http://www.airhornsoftexas.com

Question : What size and hp air compressor should I buy?
I am buying a Craftsman air compressor for my husband. He does light body work and mechanics on cars at home. I need to know what the voltage and hp should be for this type of work. Im thinking of a 20 gallon compressor.

Question : Should an Air Compressor blow off excess pressure at the crankcase?
I have a used 2 stage air compressor powered by an 5hp electric motor via a drive belt. The compressor is a two stage, it has a V shaped pump with one large and one small cylinder head. The large cylinder head has a small metal line coming from the top of the head, comes down and enters the crankcase via a fitting. The small cylinder head also has a line coming from the top of it's head and comes down and enters the through the side of the crankcase. The fitting that connects this line to the crankcase blows out air when the compressor is on. A friendly know-it-all said it was supposed to be this way to blow off excess pressure, but that doesn't make sense to me. Should this line (about the diameter of a metal brake line on a car) make an airtight seal where it enters the side of the pump crankcase or is this fitting designed to blow off excess pressure inside the crankcase?The compressor does shut off when psi reaches 100. The fittings on the line in question are tight. There is a threaded hole in the side of the crankcase, a square fitting with threaded rounded corners fits between the crankcase and the line coming from the secondary cylinder. I thought I once read that the crankcases on some air pumps are pressurized to reduce piston blowby, and I can see this being used for that, but if that's the case it seems there shouldn't be a strong blast of air coming from the fitting on the side of the crankcase. Again, it's a round hole with a square threaded adapter, and because you have a square inside a circle, you have open space around the side of the square for air to escape. This is the way we got the compressor, so I don't know if this is the way it came or someone just didn't have the right parts to repair it at one time. TY

Answer:
Yes, this compressor is operating correctly. Some compressors operate with automatic stop/start controls, which shut the compressor off when the proper pressure is reached. Other compressors have constant speed controls which uses a pneumatic (air) control line connected to a device which will hold the intake valves open to prevent more air pressure from building up once the desired pressure has been reached. This type of compressor will run in an "idle" mode when it has reached the proper pressure, and it will go back to normal compression mode when the pressure drops. Also, some larger compressors have the ability to bleed off the pressure from the top of the cylinder upon shutting down, so that the compressor motor will not have to start up under a large load. Unless you are simply talking about a loose fitting, there does not seem to be a problem with your machine.

Question : what is the best air compressor for both home repairs and heavier work?
I'd like an air compressor that will allow me to do small jobs like a brad nail gun, pump up tires, etc.. Occasionally, I do some larger projects where a nail gun would be nice. However, I don't do that very often. I've looked around on the internet and it is quite confusing. Any suggestions?

Answer:
i would go with craftsman compressors for a start. at least 125 PSI. i have a 12 gallon and i do nail gun jobs all the time with it. i would say either 12 or higher. depends on what you want to spend.

Question : what type of air compressor do I need to run two roofing nailers or one framing nailer?
I currently have a large framing nailer and a finish nailer. I will be putting a roof on this summer as well. I am wondering what type of air compressor will be the best for this.

Answer:
Just a small portable "pancake" compressor. Available for purchase at Lowe's, Home Depot, etc. But, you may want to just rent one from HomeDepot, or another rental shop in your area. Besure to also get at least 100 feet of air hose that will interface with both gun and compressor.

Question : What is the best multi purpose air compressor?
I would like to buy an air compressor that I can use for both inflating car and bike tires, as well as for tools like framing, brad and finishing nailers. Compact size and budget conscious too. Any suggestions?

Answer:
Well... you will have to size the compressor to the heaviest use - and that would be the framing nailer. And any compressor that will drive a framing nailer will also drive (one at a time) automotive tools such as air wrenches. It will NOT drive a paving breaker or any other such extremely heavy use. So, you are already outside of standard hobby compressor range and into a small contractor's compressor. The minimum requirement for a framing nailer is about 2.5CFM at 90 psi. Go for one that is capable of at least 3CFM to have a small margin. Otherwise, when you are 'moving right along' you run the chance of mis-nailing - a major PITA and time-waster.
