High Output - Cast Iron Pump with Big BoreTM cylinder and piston, combined with greater bore and stroke, delivers maximum performance.
Combining a cast iron pump with Makita's Big Bore cylinder and piston, Makita's Mac2400 (2.5 HP) portable air compressor delivers greater bore and stroke for the most optimized overall performance. The compressor is surprisingly quiet and still boasts a powerful 1,720 RPM pump. This power allows the compressor to displace greater amounts of water at a lower RPM (this, in turn, reduces the risk of tripped breakers or voltage drop which may cause premature motor failure). Additionally, because the compressor is oil lubricated, the pump runs cooler and the motor maintains a superior durability, consequently, users can be confident in the tool's efficient power transfer to your air tools and consistently smooth performance. The compressor's roll-cage construction ensures the greatest protection against the dangers of jobsite life, and with a built-in thermal overload protection, the insides of the tool are equally guarded. The tool is simple to adjust and maintain leaving you with a girthy, high-performance, air compressing monster.
