Gravity Feed

Gravity Feed SETUP: Many woodworkers enjoy a pressure setup. This gives them greater control over how much material they lay on and is good for woodworkers who experiment with different and unconventional material. These setups also allow for hookup to larger pots for production facilities or shops where large volume of material is applied. We have several pressure setup available from those starting out to industrial 2-5 gallon tank setups.

What tips should I get?

Recommendations are to be used as a starting point reference and are not an absolute application for all refinish material brands. They are not meant to imply that any given air cap/fluid tip combination can not be used to successfully spray any given refinish material. Technique and personal preference must also be considered.

As a general Rule, a 1.7-1.8 HVLP can handle most thcker wood materials.
If you want a more exact match, Generally, go Urathanes (1.7-1.9) and Wood Waterbornes (1.5-1.8) and lacquers and enamels (1.5-1.8). Thinner wood materials take a 1.4-1.6 tip set. Many only sprayable products fall in this range. We prefer larger sizes for wood. Stains and dies take (1.0-1.3) We prefer 1.0. We recommend the DeVilbiss Guns because they generally come with multiple tips to handle all your finer refinishing needs.
