Compressor Revisited
Harry Krause wrote: Amazon got my new Makita compressor to me today, as promised, in two delivery days, and without charging me for shipping. It arrived in a sturdy, padded cardboard box via FEDEX. No damage. So, I opened the pressure and regulator valves, poured in the oil and let it run for its 20-minute break-in, per the manual. Yes, I RTFM. It's very quiet, much more quiet than any other similar compressor I have encountered. Makita was not lying. Seems to be nicely made, too. Now, I have a set of Porter Cable accessories, but I don't seem to have any nylon tape around. I presume, and this is my question, that one still needs to use nylon tape on air tool screw-in fittings? Or has technology changed? I would certainly use Teflon tape. I hate leaks. |
