If you're aiming for professional results on your woodworking projects, consider investing in HVLP equipment for atomizing or spraying, such as a turbine. Compared to using a compressor, a turbine offers several advantages. With a turbine and your preferred gun, you can achieve high-quality results similar to those achieved with a gun paired with a compressor. You don't need to worry about a pressure gauge, water and oil filters, or adjusting the airflow on the gun, which simplifies the process.
Moreover, using a turbine eliminates the need for a relatively large compressor for extended use. All you need to do is press the button to start the turbine, and you're ready to spray. In addition, the turbine requires minimal regular maintenance, only needing occasional filter changes, and can be easily transported from one job site to another.
