Makita MAC320Q 1-1/2 HP, 3 Gallon Oil-Free Electric Air Compressor for Professionals

Compressors serve as essential tools both at job sites and in workshops. Among them, Makita® Air Compressors are widely regarded for their rapid recovery times, reduced noise levels, extended tool lifespan, and reliable performance. One standout model is the Makita® Quiet Series 1-1/2 HP, 3 Gallon, Oil-Free, Electric Air Compressor (MAC320Q), which uniquely integrates robust functionality with a quieter operation through its Quiet Series Design.

Operating at just 60 dBA, the MAC320Q is particularly suited for indoor applications, making it an excellent choice for tasks involving case and base installation, trim and finish carpentry, as well as cabinet and furniture creation. Its design enables it to run at a reduced RPM of 1,750, ultimately extending both motor and pump longevity. The compressor is powered by a highly efficient 1-1/2 horsepower induction motor, capable of delivering an impressive pressure of up to 90 PSI.

Weighing a mere 52.5 lbs., the MAC320Q is designed for enhanced portability, allowing users to easily move it across different work sites. The robust roll-cage construction offers significant protection for both the pump and motor assembly during transportation, storage, and on-site usage. Additional features further bolster its appeal: a low AMP draw minimizes the risk of tripped breakers upon startup, while the oil-free dual-piston pump ensures hassle-free maintenance. Moreover, integrated hooks provide convenient storage solutions for the AC power cord, streamlining the setup and pack-down processes.

In essence, the Quiet Series of this compressor operates at only 60 dB, ensuring operator and crew comfort, and thus making it particularly suitable for indoor environments. Its lower RPM (1,750) not only helps in reducing noise but also contributes to prolonging the lifespan of both the motor and pump. The complete roll-cage design enhances durability, allowing it to withstand various conditions encountered in the field, whether during transport or in storage.

Furthermore, the oil-free dual-piston pump is engineered for maintenance-free functionality, significantly increasing the ease of use for operators. The lightweight structure enhances its portability, making it a convenient option for users who need to move the unit often between different job sites.

In summary, the Makita® Quiet Series MAC320Q air compressor stands out as a versatile, reliable, and user-friendly tool. Its thoughtful design considerations—ranging from its quiet operation and efficient motor to its protective roll-cage and low maintenance needs—make it an excellent addition to any professional's toolkit. Whether you are engaged in detailed cabinetry work or general carpentry, this air compressor will deliver the performance you require while ensuring a comfortable noise level.
