Thread: Air compressor for web gun

Tweet

Hey everyone,

I just got the web gun, but being very new to all of this, it seems as if I need an air compressor.

They're like $99 at Home Depot. Does anyone know of cheaper prices online or if there are alternatives?

Thanks in advance!

A lot of those small pancake compressors don't put out enough air to run a web shooter for extended periods of time, you might check your local pawn shop out they always have decent compressors.

Try checking your local Craigs list, the classified adds in the news paper, or used tools in the yellow pages.

Sometimes you can find a good one on clearance at the home improvement store. Just know that there are some that require oil and some that don't.

If it is a Minions Web cob web gun, Harbor freight has an 4 gallon pancake compressor rated at 4.2cfm@90 psi which is often on sale for under 100 bucks.

If you have one locally this is a great buy.

Also check our list on MinionsWeb.com under Cob Webber FAQs - I must say that I need to update the links - but the first section has a number of viable choices.

I should say, our list is under the premise of using a high efficiency webber like we manufacture, that only runs on 60PSI or less.
The others use 100+PSI and will need higher minimum cfm values typically at 5cfm@90PSI or higher.

If you think you may wantto get into air props later you should consider spending more now and buying a larger compressor (bigger tank, greater CFM output) that will fill your needs in the future.
