Air Compressors for Old Gravermax

[Jackie Botten]

Hi
I have just purchased an old gravermax and a 901 handpiece and can't wait to try it out. Is it possible, please, that you lovely people could give me some tips on which compressor to buy. I would preferably like one which isn't too noisy hopefully and not too pricey if that possible. All suggestions will be gratefully received
Thanks
Jackie

I used California Air 4610, when I had a gravermax and continue to use it with a gravermach. It is oil-less so it provided oil free air. GRS has them but you can find them locally at Lowes and Home Depot, probably cheaper and no shipping.

Thanks so much. Will look at it now x

I have a silent compressor which uses oil. But they are less noisy compared to oil-free compressors. You how ever want either a long hose from compressor to Gravermax. Or an oilfilter so you wont get oil in the gravermax.

sil-air or some brand like that is what I have. There are multiple brandnames which offer what looks like to me the same compressor. Just different name and colorscheme.

I just got a Fortress Ultra-Quiet 2 gallon oil-less from Harbor Freight for $159. Super quiet (60 dbA), very nice machine. IMO nicer than the California Air 2010 for less money. Would buy another.

Thank you for the info - I was hoping to get my local store to let me listen to one running but you post literally closed the deal for me.

Hi! I just bought this to hook up to my GraverMax G8. What hook up kit did you buy to connect the gravermax 1/4" tube to the compressor? Any help you could offer would be very much appreciated.
