Makita MAC700 Big Bore 2.0 HP Air Compressor

<h2>Product Description</h2>


 

        Review
 
  This one&#x2019;s a bit of a paradox: The do-it-yourselfer might pass by this compressor in favor of an oil-free, no-maintenance model, but it&#x2019;s actually one of the best on the market for the homeowner, hobbyist and weekend warrior. <p>There are three factors that made us form this opinion. First, it&#x2019;s the quietest compressor we&#x2019;ve ever encountered. It&#x2019;s a remarkable departure in a genre of tools that normally force you to suspend conversation while it&#x2019;s cycling. The MAC700 puts out 80 decibels, according to the folks at Makita, and when you compare that to the 90 and up you get from most units, that&#x2019;s practically a hum. So we like this for household use, especially in a basement shop.<p> Next on our list of pluses for the DIY-er is the low-amp draw, and with that, fewer trips to the breaker box and less chance of premature motor failure. The other feature that won us over is the easy-on-the-hand lever handle ball valve that saves your knuckles when you drain the tank. It&#x2019;s also got a really fast cycle, so by the time you take a sip of water, you&#x2019;re ready to work again.<p> It&#x2019;s made like a champ, with a roll-bar handle that protects your investment, a cast-iron cylinder for durability and an oil sight glass that makes maintenance a breeze.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

My Mac700 survived UPS shipping from North Dakota to metro Atlanta, GA just fine.
<br/>
<br/>I use it to power airbrushes along with an added-on airbrush regulator/gauge/moisture trap.  This is exactly what I wanted for airbrushing.  It has a much longer lifespan than "airbrush compressors".  It's noise level is acceptible.  It is fast about refilling.  The airbrushes work consistently all throughout the refill phase.  This is the muscle car of airbrush compressors even though it was made in Taiwan.
<br/>
<br/>This is good to consider as the maximum desirable amp draw for common household electrical outlets.  It's right there as high as you wanna go to get the tank filled up.  I would not want it to pull any harder on the electricity of the house when it comes on.
<br/>
<br/>It only runs for 15 seconds to recharge from 100 to 125+ psi, which is great.  5 to 10 minutes of airbrushing in silence, and when it comes on it does have some volume, but it is so much less noise than an oilless.
<br/>
<br/>I had to tighten down the crankcase cover (Ref# 29, Part# 304013-E) because it was leaking oil.  It's the large exposed part of the motor that you can easily reach and tighten up with a screwdriver.  So, make sure yours is tightened up if you have one of these.
