I,m
trying to learn as I go. Like so many new guys I watch a lot of YouTube videos, most likely too many. But I keep hearing don't buy cheap
spray guns because they won't last. I,m a retired tool & die maker so I can look at a machined product & spot quality or poor workman
ship. I bought a Astro HE 1.3. I have not used it yet, but I took it down & it look very good as far as machine work. It was all CNC machined.
No gaskets I see that would leak. The packing I keep hearing about? I did not take it down that far. This is a $100 gun. What wears out on cheap guns
that would not on high dollar guns.? The needle & nozzle I would guess. This needle does not look like it,s stainless. But is that true? I a see guy that
has a array of guns cheap & expensive. One guy that seems to do excellent work said he has a $80 gun he has had for some time & still uses it from
time to time. This is just a hobby I,m getting into so I do not think I would wear it out, if I clean & maintain it as I should. Please give your thoughts.
