Grex - Air Compressors

Air Compressors

Portable compressor delivers whisper-quiet power for airbrush art anywhere

Oil-less piston compressors eliminate the maintenance schedule that interrupts studio work. This Grex model runs at 55 decibels, quieter than normal conversation, making it practical for apartment studios and shared spaces where noise matters. The automatic shut-off conserves energy during natural pauses in your work, while the manual switch provides complete shutdown when you're done for the day.

At eleven pounds with a retractable handle, the AC1810 moves between workspace and storage without hassle. The integrated moisture trap protects your airbrush from water contamination that causes spatter, while the built-in pressure gauge lets you monitor air delivery at a glance. A twelve-foot coiled hose provides working radius without permanent tangles, and the onboard airbrush holder keeps your tool secure between color changes.

The 1/8 HP motor delivers 0.7 cfm at up to 60 psi, sufficient pressure and volume for detail spraying, illustration work, and cake decorating. Whether you're working on miniatures at your desk or taking the compressor to workshops, this unit handles single-airbrush applications reliably. CSA and CE certification confirms it meets North American and European safety standards.
