  • This is a perfect size psi and cfm for my small work shop
Style: MAC5200 air compressor
For 28 years I had a cheap little 12 gallon compressor that worked but was loud and I was lucky to get 110 psi out of it. It finally died thank goodness. I was looking for something that I could use with a plasma cutter but didn't want a huge 60 gal shop 220v loud ass compressor. I found this beauty and it's not the perfect compressor for a plasma cutter but it will deliver good working times and is perfect for everything else I need. Smallish and still somewhat portable, this thing is quiet and powerful and very well made. I've had a Makita circular saw that is well used for the last 25 years and it still works like new after I put a new cord on it. Makita stuff is well made. ... show more

  • Long Term Review - Great Compressor, with the right tools can be used for auto paint
Style: MAC5200 air compressor
I've had this compressor for almost 10 years now and it has been super reliable with frequent DIY/auto type use. Other than the bad (read, unusable) wheels that affected older compressors like mine that have since been rectified it has been amazing with no leaks, failures, or other issues. It has about the highest CFM rating for a 120V compressor and is relatively quiet. Does a decent job on a IR 1/2 impact but can't drive cutoff type high draw tools. I'd absolutely buy another if I was in the market for a compact 120v compressor. The reason I'm writing this review 10 years later is to share some recent results with flow tests I've recently done with this compressor. Most of the CFM and HP ratings on compressors are wishful thinking and it was hard to get a straight answer as to whether or not this unit would support a LVLP or smaller HVLP spray gun. There is lots of stuff out there about how you can use a full size gun on a smaller compressor for short periods of time . My setup is 25' of 3/8 ID air hose with high flow fittings and a high flow filter/dryer. These tests were done dry with the gun properly set up, air set to listed specs, and the trigger fully depressed. 1) The well known "purple" gun with 1.4 mm nozzle - Rated 6CFM draw. Fully pressurized with the regulator set correctly the compressor will drop to the kick-in pressure, then hold steady at about 100 lb tank pressure. The air draw from the gun seems to match the pump output so you could probably paint indefinitely, or at least until you run into the compressor duty cycle. 2) Iwata LPH50 detail gun 1.0 mm nozzle - this gun is rated 1.8cfm at 13psi input. The compressor kicks on, fully charges, then kicks off with the trigger down. Can paint indefinitely, or until you hit compressor duty cycle. 3) Iwata LPH400 LV4 full size gun with 1.4mm nozzle - this gun is rated at 9.5cfm and is considered low draw for a real pro grade HVLP gun. The compressor can manage about 15-18 seconds from full tank to the pressure dropping at the gun inlet. Probably not useful in reality. Works great with a 5 horse 30 gal 240v compressor rated 12cfm. 4) Sprayit SP-33000/R500/Eastwood Concurs LT with 1.3mm nozzle - this gun is rated at 3.9 cfm but it has such a huge leak at the needle seal that it is hard to tell if it would work. Inconclusive. If I can fix the gun I'll update the review The compressor does generate a lot of water/oil mist so a good multi stage filter/coalescing filter/dryer is necessary but properly set up with low-ish draw tools this thing can be used for paint. ... show more

  • Great compressor for Plasma Cutter
Style: MAC5200 air compressor
I bought the Makita, MAC5200 Air Compressor in May, 2012. I bought it so I could use it with an Eastwood Versa-Cut plasma cutter. (requires 5-7 CFM @85 PSI). I'd hoped to get a compressor for around $100. There are a lot out there at that price, but none of them could handle the requirements of the smallest plasma cutters. This one does the job perfectly. This is oil lubricated, which makes for quieter operation, and I am led to believe a more efficient and longer lasting compressor. I spent just about as much on the compressor as I did on the plasma cutter, but I'm very pleased with the way the equipment works together. Considering that I have a really nice compressor and an excellent plasma cutter including all necessary accessories for both, all for under $900 delivered . . . I'm a pretty happy guy. It arrived in short order, quicker than expected. Easy to get from the box to running order. I bought the 50 ft. air hose and a small accessory kit. I did have to use the plumbers tape provided in the tool kit at the connectors. Still need to do a little adjusting in that area, but it works really well. The compressor is easy to roll from one location to the other, and it looks really nice, which makes no significant difference in purchasing it, but it's a nice bonus. I've used it in the garage at times, with the door open of course. It's not terribly noisy, but not my favorite way to use it. Mostly I run it off an outside outlet about 30 feet from where I do my cutting and welding. It makes noise, to be sure, but not terrible and none of my neighbors have complained. I live in a suburban neighborhood. ... show more
