Atlas Copco any good?

[tysonn]

Theres one on Ebay at the moment.Model LX108.Google doesnt bring up a lot but its 1.1kw(1.5hp),50 litre tank),180 litres per minute which I got to about 6cfm.It looks like the motor is in some sort of soundproofing enclosure.Anyone on here have experience of them?

I have a 110v hammer drill well used for 15yrs and still going strong,
they make a lot of heavy duty stuff hydrovane compressors for the road workers and at BMW Cowley i have seen loads of tools and machinery made by them

the only down side it looks to be a direct drive that model probably allrite if in good nick and cheap enough but belt driven are best . atlas make some good gear but i think they have some cheap stuff for lower end market i have one of there spray guns bought cheap but its quite good

I have no experience of their small stuff but used to buy a lot of their towed compressors, jackhammers and petrol-engined breakers in a previous job. Had a few problems with the petrol-engined breakers but back-up and spares were excellent.

Compressors etc were quality kit and gave no major problems.

Asked the seller if it was belt drive but hes not replied so far.Hard to tell as its in a box!

Yes he says its direct drive.Could this possibly be sufficient to supply an air fed mask?
