Compressed Gas Cleaner

[PhilC]

Don't want the noise in your reloading room? Get a small portable air tank you pressurize with a noisy compressor. Add a regulator on the outlet so you can set pressure to whatever you want. A 10gal tank would last a long time with short spritz at 15 - 20psi.

I do a lot of case prep work on an old Atlas lathe that Dad bought 60+yrs ago when I was a kid. It's out in my attached 3-car garage with the two heavy engine lathes & knee mill that I do my gunsmithing on. Wouldn't be able to get along without the vertical compressor that I bought to put out there...and I've got an oil/water separator plumbed into the outlet at the lathes, so I use compressed air quite often when doing case prep & when cleaning guns. The compressor is one of those 3-cylinder jobs that's noisier than all get-out - I've gotten used to it when it kicks in and runs, but the occasional customer who's standing next to it when it starts up will usually jump pretty good. It's too loud to talk over the noise, if that gives you any idea of what I'm talking about...
