Title: Second machine
Post by: clarkson on September 19, 2013, 06:33:24 am

Hi
Can I ask your opinion on a mid size good value machine.

I want a second machine , got some contracts coming up that are very time sensitive .
I can not fail to get the work done and its at night. So if I break down want something
To plug the gap.

I also want it if there is two jobs on the same day. Me and my hoppo can split up.

Prefer at least 135psi, two stage vac , 2 inch hose as that's what my hoses are.

Not to pricey?

Cheers

John

Alltec express, 135 psi 2x vacs and a heater now do a silencer and its light so easy to carry around I've just ordered one after seeing it work I was very impressed.

The second one appeals more to me for the sake of £900.
Not just a back up machine but a frontline powerful machine.

There is also a Airflex Turbo 600psi on ebay for £1,600 including wand and hand tool and i think they will accept best offer.

Also someone has just posted they are looking to get rid of the same machine which is hardly used and been serviced recently see recent post in this forum.

Hi
Richard the air flex is me :)

My thinking is now buy two smaller used machines with the cash from air flex sale.

Cheers

if your on a budget get a low spec machine and upgrade it yourself over time. Take a Ninja you only have to look inside a high spec machine to see how its all connected and just copy it on the low spec machine.

if you do two the second one can pay for the first. ;D
