ANyone use this compressor yet… it’s really low cost. Creatix TC5000.
Jeff,
Is this the one you wanted to ask me about?
I am not familiar with it but I know it is made by SimAir who sells some good compressors.
If Badger has any available you can get a remanufactured Million-Air for about the same price and it is quieter than that one and higher quality.

Jeff,
Check out this Ebay auction.

That’s an excellent deal, minus the $125 shipping on it. But the Million air isnt that good for continious T-shirt airbrushing is it. Been looking more along the line of the Silentair t-50 or t-30 to start out. Just saw the creatix one at dixie with an great brush added for under $400.
That’s what they want for shipping? Are they smoking crack or what? [:0]
You didn’t say you wanted to do T-shirt airbrushing.
No, a Million-Air will burn up if you try T-shirt painting with it.
T-shirt airbrushing is very demanding on a compressor because you are spraying normally at 60 psi which uses air quickly and would cause a small tank compressor to run much more than the 50% duty cycle they were created for.
Your best bet for T-shirt airbrushing is an industrial compressor as they will last and they are not that expensive.
Some people including my buddy Scooter recommend the Sears oil-lubed, belt-driven compressors as they are quieter than the direct drive oiless versions and will last practically a lifetime if cared for.
If you have to have a silent model then the Silentaire’s such the Terry Hill model are very good but they run you $800.

Thanks for the chat today Mike… good call.
My pleasure Jeff.
I hope you find a good deal on a silent. [;)]
