Minigraf 4 Underpinner Air Supply

Post by Smiffy »

Can somebody please explain what kind of air compressor i need for the minigraf 4 in simple terms... I have no idea whatsoever, but need one pretty soonish.

Im over in Germany and had a look on the German eBay where i found one with a similar spec to the bambi ht24, which Lion say is the perfect air compressor for the underpinner, but i want something a bit cheaper to last me whilst im over here.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

You don't need a huge or special compressor at all if its just for the underpinner. 25ltr would be fine.

Be sure to drain it regularly and use a water filter/ regulator as when airs compressed water is produced inside the reciever.

- The main advantage of the bambi is that its very quiet.

25l, to 8 bar, 2hp motor will do you fine. Yes the bambi's are great and I'd like one, but I no longer jump out of my skin when mine kicks in. Bit like a police horse I suppose.
