Hi All
I am currently using a BA 1100 compressor with a 3 Litre Air Tank and an standard black and red regulator that seems to be on nearly every mid range compressor in the UK.
I switch the unit on and the system cuts out when it reaches 50-60 PSI, I start using the brush and it drops before kicking in again when the tank pressure drops to 40 I think.
Anyway my issue is, I thought the regulator was supposed to limit the airflow out of the tank to the brush, I eventually figured out how to unlock the cap and turn it, but regardless of which way I turn the rugulator or how much I seem to get only maximum PSI from the tank.
So my questions are, should the regulator control air pressure to the airbrush and will the needle give me any indication of what the flowthrough pressure to the brush is?
Or have I misinterpreted the function of this unit?
Or do i have a fault?
