at what pressure does the compressor have to be set at for the DH53oo spray gun

I spray stain around 50 psi. Lacquers and polyurethane I spray from 40 to 50 PSI. It all depends on the liquids viscosity.

30 to 50 PSI-max according to the material you are spraying . and a flow of 8.3 SCFM continuous or 4.3 average .Gun works well . I also purchased that seal maintenance kit

The psi isn't the most important factor, it is the cfm of the compressor. If it is 1.5 to 2 hp it should work this paint gun at 50 to 50 psig. Most air compressors put out 2 to 3.5 cfm per horse power.

It depends on how big of pieces your are going to be spraying. i.e. how much continuous use the gun will see. The biggest issue with smaller compressors is running out of air. Once that starts happening the performance will go down and you will not be happy with the results. It also depends on what you will be spraying. If you are going for an automotive finish on big pieces you would probably want a bigger compressor to keep up with the demands.

The pressure is contingent upon your compressor AS WELL as the attachment fittings. I have this rig myself and I would venture to guess you could. It's not a good unit for ceiling spraying however.

The gun itself doesn't have a PSI...it's the compressor you're using that should tell you that. The diameter of the needle is what you should be concerned with as to how much of the product will flow out. The Belloccio compressor that is listed on Amazon does not have a very high PSI...maybe 30, but definitely not more than that. The gun is great for any compressor. I have the Temptu, the Dinair and the Bellocio and it works great with all of them. I hope that helps.

Very simple. Adjust regulator on compressor to desired psi, load paint cup, spray on test area while monitoring/adjusting pressure through the regulator on the compressor. Due to the design of the compressor, the pressure will remain very consistent while spraying. Different thicknesses of paint, as well as volume being applied, may require some adjustment of pressure. Just my observations after many hours spent with this unit....

It uses 17cfm@90psi. 90psi is the operating pressure. You would need at least a 60-80 gallon 2 stage 175 psi air compressor.

In my opinion, this compressor which will generate 125 PSI, should allow the brad gun to work quite well, the gun itself does not use a large amount of compressed air like an air grinder, I shoot a number of brads before my compressor kicks in to replenish the pressure, my compressor has two tanks, so this compressor may kick in more often, since it has less reserve capacity.

Home air compressors are regulated to about 90-100psi (the pressure air tools run on). This tank takes 3000psi, so a home compressor will not even come close.

My gun gets occasional use, and I've owned it for several years. So far, no problems. It does require decent air pressure (100 psi or more) and a large air hose to fire properly. I notice that I'm having to hammer in quite a few nails when the compressor pressure is low enough (80 psi) that it's about to kick on.

My small (6 gallon)compressor has plenty of power. I set the pressure to between 80 and 100lb. I operate everything from this tool to brad nailers to my big framing hammer...I shoot a lot of nails and brads...framing, laying sub-flooring, laying hardwood floor and trim work/base board etc..

I would think if you needed to run a drill at this pressure to provide required performance, you should be looking at a 1/2" or electric. At every plant I've worked in, house air usually runs ~90psi (at tool). Higher pressures regulated at the compressor may be needed to facilitate working pressure (to the tool), normally due to plumbing long runs, leaking or too restrictive piping/connections. But running any 3/8" hand drill at 140-150psi is going to dramatically reduce the life of the product.

I do not know, I think so, I only have it pressurized to 60ft/lbs on the two stage compressor and then bring to to gun pressure at the gun

CFM and spray pattern are adjustable so hard to answer. Gun works very well on low PSI and I am running standard (small) air fittings

Great gun....ran 100's of nails through it on a shed project and not one jam. I have a Campbell-Hausfeld 4 gal 2 hp pancake compressor (bought at Sams several years ago), which has a max 140 psi. Depending on the softness of the wood and size of nail, I used in between 80-100 psi. Of course the gun has an adjustment on the front for depth, also. As with any gun, don't forget to give it a few drops of oil every once in a while. I recommend it. Phil Layne

Pressure (150 psi) won't be the issue. Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM) will be the limiting factor using a pancake compressor. It will operate the gun for short periods, then you have to wait for it to catch up.

No, it only puts out 0.51 SCFM at 40 psi, so not enough volume for almost all spray guns (it would be ok for an airbrush). Look for a compressor that is specifically stated to work for painting (this one is for filling bike tires, running staple guns and low duty cycle nailers and such that have moderate to high pressure requirements, but have low CFM requirements).
