I was wondering if anyone did any kind of a break in procedure for their jc10 air compressor. I could not find any information online. I have heard of people on different brands keep their tank drain open and let it cycle for 30 minutes. Does anyone have any experience or recommendations?

I didn’t do anything other than plug that baby in and use it! You may notice a burning smell initially but that’s normal

Enjoy, it’s a great compressor

Thanks! I was expecting it to be quiet, but that thing is really really quiet.

Yeah, me too. I’m already planning on replacing some trim in the GF’s house, just to justify one of these, plus a nailer…

This is my go to compressor when working in side. I think that you would be hard pressed to find a more quiet compressor. I have used it for flooring and trim with no problems keeping up.

air compressor is on my list too. JC-10 is a nice item for sure.

I eyeballed the cet4-20w from bosch – should have bought it in October with free shipping but my budget didn’t allow me that.

because of the weight they want 80 bucks for shipping – that’s kinda a deal killer for me. Lowes took the item down from their homepage, otherwise I would have ordered it there with no S/H costs. think I just have to wait until next year October for the free shipping event lol.
