Eastwood Powder Coating Gun $59.99 delivered!

[Dragonheart]

Got this email this morning from Eastwood. At the bottom an Eastwood Powder Coating Gun delivered for a price of $59.99. I understand the Eastwood gun delivers twice the voltage of my Harbor Freight Gun and does a better job. I guess i will find out.

Thank you

[Budzilla 19]

Thanks, Dragon, I guess I'll have to give myself a new gun for Father's Day!!! Thank you

[Beagle333]

You just can't beat a 'lectric gun for a smooth coat. 8-) 'Looks like a great price on that one.

[Dragonheart]

Most of the time the best present you get is the one you give yourself.

[bangerjim]

That's a good price on that single voltage gun. I already have 2 ESPC guns that work VERY well for my needs (boolits and other items) or I probably would order one.

But I would tend to lean toward the variable voltage higher priced unit to have more control over the coating process.

This sale one appears to be a good simple entry level gun.

Yes, I went with the dual voltage gun as it was recommended by another, it was $99 and I had a coupon for either 10% off or free shipping. I took the free shipping as I ordered extra bottles as well and it totaled up to a greater savings. Since high humidity here has been 90% lately, is a real problem that I hope the higher voltage will help.

[Nick Quick]

I know a guy who bought a starter kit from Eastwood and he swears on the quality. He said the gun delivers 20000V and the coating is outstanding.

How does you buddy measure the voltage on a coronal discharge electronics module lie the ESPC guns use????? Very tricky!

It is rated at only about 11K and in the description it refers to only 9K. You cannot just hook up a Harbor Freight free cheeeeepy DVM to it and measure!!!!!!!!

[Nick Quick]

I will ask him no doubt about it because I"m very interested too. He's quite a sharp guy as he built himself an automation for his Master Caster. Someone who can do it on his own has all my respect.
I'll ask and let ya know.

Man you aren't kidding about the humidity, I had my first batch of PC failure! Everything looked great until I tried to pick the boolits off the tray, the bases left the PC behind!

[blikseme300]

We have high humidity here in the Texas RGV as well and they way I mitigate it is to do this in my workshop after the AC set at 65* for around 4 hours. Don't know what the humidity is then but there is a huge difference in the outcome.

[Nick Quick]

Before talking to my guy, I checked on Eastwood website and I think he was referring to this model but I'm still not sure.
http://www.eastwood.com/dual-voltage-hotcoat-powder-gun.html

I'm myself intrigued by the coating method and want to try it. If it lives up the hype everyone talks about then coating will make the lubesizers just sizers. I have to do a more thoroughly research before start buying things.

I have an "antique" 35KV voltage stepdown probe that plugs into my old analog-slug Simpson meter I used to measure the CRT voltage on TV's back in the day. Doubt if most have stuff like that today. Unless they are pack-rats like me!!!!!!!!!

That would work, but I have never measured my guns as they work perfectly well for my needs.

[Beagle333]

I don't know if it's the amount of voltage, or the amount of transfer of any available voltage to the PC.
I know that my more expensive gun coats better, but it has several more electrodes that the dust goes past on the way out of the tube.

[WFO2]

Thanks not there yet but I did book mark it for latter when I start to cast for rifles .

Bookmark it if you wish. But Eastwood's sales normally last only about 4-5 days. I put off buying some other stuff (not PC) they sell and the price went up 60% (back to normal) in just 4 days.

You snooze.........you loose!

Here on the Gulf Coast the rain is killing us, so the humidity is really high. My club's handgun range is behind a flood control levy and is still under eight feet of water, it's down from thirteen feet!
To get reasonable powder coverage I also run the AC in my shop for several hours. I have found when the humidity is above 70% and you are going to have problems. Running the AC will drop the humidity to about 60% when its 90%+ outside. Under these conditions, inside under AC my HF gun works, not great, and not with all powders, but outside just forget it. At times like these I envy the desert people, as I really don't like spraying inside.

Wish you would share, :D we get stuck on the wrong side of the dry line and it is dry.

[gpidaho]

That's the gun I've used from the first boolit I coated. Good basic gun, good price. Gp

[fishingsetx]

are yall really having that many issues with humidity and ESPC on boolits? what are you using for a ground? even a HF gun with its measly 5-8 kv should give you perfect coats even at 95% humidity! I did these two cups yesterday and Id bet the humidity was well above 75% with temps close to 90 in my garage yesterday with nary an issue using my eastwood dual voltage. Ive never had an issue with humidity, but a weak ground will kill you every time! There are actually 4 coats of powder on each of these!

just curious what guns you are running. I have been really considering an upgrade, but so far I have struck out. I use the eastwood dual voltage at $100 and the next step up I can find is the KoolKoat 2.0 at almost $700. do they make a model somewhere inbetween? I could justify $3-500, but not $700+

Nice workmanship on those cups !!!!!!

Yes, I have been having a lot of problems with high humidity. When you have powders that the shake & bake gives spotty coverage you know there is a problem.

I replaced the HF ground cable with 12 gauge speaker cable and two clips to insure a good ground and that seemed to help some, but when you are fighting humidity there are other problems to deal with like keeping your compressor air supply dry. A water separator and desiccant filters are a must, other wise the powder will cake in the gun. Lately the only way I can spray with any success is in my shop after the AC has been running for several hours. I suspect you Eastwood gun with the higher voltage give a much better coverage.

I never could get the shake and bake method to work for me so I bought he HF gun and it worked great. upgraded to the eastwood when I started dojng cups.

If you havent already done this:

On your ground, you need to ground your work surface to an actual ground rod. even a metal fence post would be better than the ground on the gun!!! the ground on the gun box is all but useless even if you ran heavier wire. by the time it has passed through all the connections in the clips, box, plugs, beaker box, and ground rod connection, its all but lost (and thats assuming all the connections are even made back to the breaker box!) Im almost positive that if you did this, you would see a HUGE improvement in how the gun powder coats . I have a dedicated 8' ground rod with #4 wire to my metal work bench top.

removing the water from the air is a whole nother story. I have a filter/seperator and a regulator on mine, but no dessicant filter. I built one, but have never needed it. I just keep my compressor drained. all you need to build one is a 2" pipe nipple about 8" long, two couplings (slipXthread), 2 reducers, a piece of window screen, and the fittings to connect it inline with your air. Fill it with silica gel kitty litter ($9 from walmart) and you have your filter. if you build it out of PVC, make dang sure to put it on the low pressure side of your reg!!!!! PVC + high pressure = pipe bomb! I built mine out of stainless pipe.

Thanks for the heads up on this gun. I looked it up and ended up getting the dual voltage version. I also got 6 extra bottles.
