Needle gun
 

Hi,

Where is the best place to get a needle gun for doing the portable?

Regards

Matt

machine mart.

Several on the first page if you do a Google on ' needle gun '

Do not bother with ebay on this one .

Hi, I hired one from Speedyhire to needle gun my boiler barrel and other parts .I think it worked out about £50 for the week ., cheaper than by the day. Regards Ray..

I got mine from machine mart and it works well thumbsup

You can buy a cheap one for about £ 50 !

Get a good Ingersole Rand one from a secondhand tool place - the new ones won't last. You will pay half as much and have one for life!

Same here

Thats why i hired a good one .Anything good is about £250 as you know. regards Ray.

Mine is also from machine mart and works fine. It was a heck of a lot less than £250!!

Looks like a good enough price....

Im sure you are sick of all the advice but if you are doing a load of work dont be affraid of buying a good one as they go off song quite quickly but you may not notice until you overhaul it and a good make like Trewlawny sell the wearing parts quite cheaply. Needles arnt that cheap but you can get most bits in 2 days. Dont waste you money on a hot! ebay purchase! Cheap ones tend to use lots of air, are hard on ur bones and when it breaks u cant get bits! Hope this helps. Weve done lots of needle gunning!. Im surprised i can type still!
