It may seem cheap, but I suspect the propellant can has a pretty short life=
,
so could wind up costing a lot in relacements.
Also the seller seems to be careful not to mention WHAT the propellant is!!=

CFC's are very environmentally unfriendly, and the usual alternative is
often a highly inflammable gas.

I'd give it a miss!

At the risk of sounding perfectly inane -- because i've forgotten the name
of the product -- have been hearing lately about an electric machine which
refills oxygen in ( small ?) tanks and since many sprayers are powered by
compressed oxygen, i wondered if this would be a viable method to use with =
a
sprayer instread of having to have a compressor ???
Anyone have any ideas on the practicality of this ?

?Sprayers, the following link is for a syphon sprayer used for very thick
paint in the radiator business, it works well for glaze, although it does
require a compressor. The sprayer connects to the compressor and the tube
from the bottom goes into the glaze, as the air passes over the tube it
sucks up the glaze, so there is no orifice to plug up. Larry

Not compressed oxygen (that'd be pricey, and
a bit hazardous without care), but compressed
AIR. Preval is one of the better-known brands
which sells an air canister which attaches to
their sprayer. It works OK. I haven't heard of
compressors sold just to refill canisters, but I
would rather get a regular compressor and just
use that to run my sprayer. A small compressor
which will drive a sprayer is not too pricey. Still,
I suppose the canned-air sprayers are a handy
thing, especially if you lack a space for a real
compressor, have noise issues, etc.

Hmmmm . . . i'll bet Snail's right. I'm mixing apples and oranges. The
electric regenerator replaces oxygen for folks with copd (and it didn't see=
m
to be too spendy) but a compressor produces air. My mind tried to improvis=
e
and relate one process to another.
Sorry about that !

I have this Chicago Tools sprayer I got from Harbor Freight . It's
several years old and still runs great. They still sell this unit, and
it is now $74.99 - $20 less than what I paid for it some years back.
Great sprayer for the price. I recommend it. The one thing I would
suggest should you buy this one - see if you can get an extra spray gun
with tank or at least some extra spray tanks. That way it's easy to work
multiple colors of glazes at one time, just swapping out between
containers of glaze.

------------------------------------
I agree regarding this particular Harbor Freight "Chicago Electric" tool.
Normally I advise avoiding all Chicago Electric tools from Harbor Freight.
They are made to look like industrial tools on the outside, but inside they
are usually pure crap. The Chicago Electric HVLP turbine spray system seem=
s
to be an anomaly, and I have heard nothing but good things about it when
used for glaze spraying. For anyone who already has a compressor, I'd still
recommend the Tool Force gravity feed HVLP conversion gun available for $35
from amazon.com, but for those who do not have a compressor, the Chicago
Electric HVLP turbine system seems a great solution. Just be prepared for
what Fred experienced. If the thing breaks or the seals wear out, you are
on your own and will have to find off-the-shelf parts in your local hardwar=
e
or auto parts store.

The credo when entering Harbor Freight is "buyer beware." You can find som=
e
great stuff there, but don't be suckered into buying junk. The sad reality
is that someone had to take a chance on this HVLP turbine system in order
for us to find out that it works so well. There might be other Chicago
Electric tools that are worthwhile, but I have heard too many horror storie=

from too many people about Chicago Electric saws, hammer-drills, grinders,
etc.

Hi Vince and all,
One "Chicago Electric" tool I bought 5 years ago that is still going strong
is their Brick Saw, Item #95385 which is one tough tool. Not only have I
used it to build several kilns (the reason I bought it), and loan to friend=
s
for their kilns - my neighbors at the store, Willett's Winery, have used it
cut the bricks for three, multi thousand sq. ft. patio areas.
I always buy the HF extended warranty on any power tools and never buy thei=
r
power tools for any job I need to make a living from - they are just not
that dependable - but they are fine for occasional use or hobbyist. In the
case of my kiln, I needed to cut 20 bricks and the rental place in town
wanted $75 a day to rent one - HF brick saw cost $249 on sale plus warranty=
,
$15 as I recall. I knew I'd be building more than one kiln, and wifey wante=
d
ceramic tile in the kitchen - no brainer. Its been good for 5 kilns, the
kitchen and the winery - cheap.

Hello,

Since the discovery that CFCs are not so innocuous, after all, the
propellant for a spray can will often be either butane or propane. Both ar=
e
relatively cheap and unlikely to interact adversely with the product. Ther=
e
is that fire hazard, however. Usually the manufacturer states what the
propellant is and will give admonitions about ventilation when using the
product. However, a careless user who uses a spray can (or several cans) i=
n
areas where heavier-than-air gasses could collect may be in for an
unpleasant surprise.

Be careful if you end up using more than one can of a spray product,
especially in a not-too-well-ventilated area.

Vince,
I'm with you. You do have to be very careful of tools bought at HB. I
usually only buy them after getting recommendations on a particular tool
from those who have had positive experience with them. Such was the case
with the Turbine Sprayer By Chicago Electric Tools. This tool came well
recommended by a couple of people on Clayart several years ago. On the
strength of it I went and bought one. I have been very happy with it and
it is still running strong. How much longer - who knows. And I agree,
getting parts when it does wear out may be very problematic. But if one
needs a sprayer, has a limited budget, all things being equal, this
sprayer is a good one, and should give good service until one can afford
something in a different class.

One other thing - the top loading HVLP hand held guns have shown
themselves to be very good and they hold up well. They do however,
require a separate compressor and hose. I used one of the Harbor Freight
HVLP guns extensively in a factory environment a few years ago, and it
worked fabulously well over time. A big trick was - keep that sucker
clean!!! Wash and blow out after use, otherwise the brass parts tended
to corrode. But that is a use and maintenance issue - not a tool quality
issue.

Regards,

John

Hi Larry -
It sounds like you lucked out and got a good one. "Chicago Electric" is
just a brand invented by Harbor Freight. As you probably know, "Chicago
Pneumatic" is a highly-respected brand of quality air tools. "Milwaukee
Electric" is a highly-respected brand of quality electric tools. Harbor
Freight just picked the first word from the first and the second word from
the second and put them together, trusting that a lot of people would say
"Hmmm, I've heard of that before and I think it's a high-quality brand."
It's pretty clever, but completely deceptive.

There is no "Chicago Electric" company in Chicago or China or India. Harbo=
r
Freight contracts with factories in China, India, Pakistan, Korea, etc., to
manufacture tools that are branded "Chicago Electric," but the quality
control is dismal. In some cases the products are high-quality, like your
brick saw, and in some cases they are not.

Many years ago I worked as a mechanic and welder for the City of Arcata, an=
d
I had to furnish all of my own tools. I started out with Craftsman, but
moved up to Proto and Snap-On. It didn't take me long to realize that
investment in the best tools is never a waste of money, and it pays you bac=
k
for the life of the tool. 35 years later I still have the big rollaway
toolbox filled with mechanics tools, and they are still in perfect
condition. During that same interval in the 70s I also bought some
high-quality power tools including a Makita metal cutoff saw, a Makita 4.5"
angle grinder, a Sioux 7" angle grinder, and a worm-drive Skilsaw, and all
of them are still in perfect condition.

If you buy cheap tools, now and then you will luck out and get a good one
that lasts, like your brick saw or Fred Parker's angle grinder. If you buy
quality tools and take good care of them, they will always last except in
the very rare cases of a lemon, which are unavoidable no matter how much yo=
u
spend for tools.
