Joe,

I have been in the compressor business for 19 years. You get what you pay
for in this business, especially small machines.

Along with simple durability and reliability, the most important thing to
consider is filtration. BAUER has always maintained the high road in all
categories. You may pay a small fraction more than the private labeled
Italian knock-offs, but it is more than well worth it. The Italian pumps
have always had a very weak final stage.

We will extend every possible discount to your project on a real machine.

Looking for input regarding the purchase of a new compressor, the team is
currently using a rebuilt RIX SA3, this unit can only be described as one of
the worst purchases that I have ever made.  It has disassembled itself on
two occasions spewing parts hot parts around my basement, fortunately we run
it remotely from another location, and spends more time down than running.
It has turned out to have been a very poor choice.

 It is now time to cut my losses and repace this unit.  Besides a
questionable design the RIX was probably worn out when I got it so I do not
want to make the same error and purchase another used and worn out
compressor.  Cost is a major factor since we do not have deep pockets.  The
unit will see very limited use so a small capacity unit is fine.

   I have done some shopping around and the lowest cost unit I have found is
a MAX AIR 35 3,5 cfm unit being offered by Leisure Pro for
$ 2550....................normally you get what you pay for.............has
anyone had any experience with this unit or heard anything regarding it
?????or have an alternate unit and source to recommend.

        thanks

               JOE
