I give a brief overview of the DIY design and installation of the shop compressed air system that runs my blasting cabinet, air tools, and HVLP spray setup. The catch is that it can only power one of these activities at a time, but since I am a one-man operation this is hardly significant.
Capable of 14.1 CFM @ 90 PSI, 16.1 CFM @ 40 PSI 100% continuous duty cycle. Air is filtered to .1 micron for the HVLP section, and has an oil aerosol separator that removes 99.9% of microscopic droplets. The stages cascade from one to the next, and the 3rd stage air/water separator has yet to produce a single drop of water. Even so, I left a provision for an add-on desiccant air dryer, should the need arise.
Three months in service, and so far everything is working out exactly as expected. I plan a followup review at the six month mark, including the results of a 2 stage paint job shot with the equipment depicted in the video, so be sure to be on the lookout for that video (hint: subscribing will make that easier! Just sayin').
