Description
| |
|---|---|
The Eastwood gun is the most compact powder-coating tool in the shop. It has a fully-enclosed high-voltage power supply a cable that stretches to the gun, the gun itself, a grounding wire that attaches to the workpiece or the rack that holds it, and an activation switch for the high voltage. Standard jars of powder-coating paint screw onto the gun for easy color change, though the gun must be cleaned after using a particular color.
| |
|---|---|
This tool has a "dual-voltage" feature, allowing the user to switch from 15kV to 25kV depending on the need. The lower setting is used for most applications, especially when spraying the interiors of hollow parts. The higher setting is used when adding a second coat of paint to a part.
| |
|---|---|
There is no ON/OFF switch for the power supply. Generally the unit is left plugged in (and powered up) to an outlet on the back of the spray booth. The high voltage is inactive until the activation switch is depressed.
