Fuji Spray 2895-T75G Q5 Platinum - T75G Quiet HVLP Spray System

Have used many different style systems to spray custom furniture. The Fuji is one of the cleanest smoothest low over spray with waterborne. Very quiet blower motor. Still getting use to the larger hose.

Let me start off my saying im not some professional. Im a hobbyist. I don't have a giant shop, but the tools I do have.. are nice. 13" planer, 6" joiner. Table saw. routers. 5hp shaper. drill press, tile saw and blah blah blah. Always have the right tool for the job at hand. The better your tools.. the better quality of your output.I just started building new cabinets for my kitchen, so I wanted a professional looking finish. I sprayed finishes on in high school but since then its always been brush/roll... and if you've done much of that you know the time involved and the quality. Sometimes is ok. sometimes its bad.So I wanted to spray.I have an air compressor.. a 30 gal.. but it wouldn't put enough CFM through to use the typical HVLP guns you can get. Id have to spend close to $1000 on a fast enough compressor (and one that doesn't come from harbor freight). Then you're dealing with cold air.. and having to use water/oil traps to keep the air clean going to the gun.Then you still have to buy the gun.In that light, I decided to look at the turbine systems. Warm air. no worry about oil or water.After looking around I decided on the Q5. Im GLAD I went with the Q models. They really ARE exceptionally quiet. you can talk in a normal voice over this thing.Its high quality.And the gun was simple to set up, even for someone that hasn't sprayed in 30 years and even then, the shop teacher had it all set up.The air adjustment on the box. Another on the hose end, and the end cap adjusting the amount of material going through.I had it up and spraying nicely in about 5 minutes.Ive already sprayed the pieces for three cabinets and they look fabulous.Also of note, is their customer service. This alone is worth getting...I had decided to use targets EM coatings for my cabinets. the EM1000 sanding sealer and the EM6000 lacquer. Both water based for ease of cleanup and the lacquer, while water based, does a full burn in. so that was important.Due to viscosity and cap sizes.. I contacted Fuji support about what size nozzles would be best for these coatings...within the day I had my answer. THey had already tested those specific coatings and said the EM6000 worked best with the stock 1.3mm nozzle and the EM1000 worked best with the 1.0mm nozzle.So I added the 1.0mm nozzle to my cart and made my purchase.other than adjusting the gun I didn't even practice, and went right to work.first thing i screwed up was attaching the flexible whip hose wrong (I felt like a moron and attached it to the unit itself thinking of it as a stress relief section. duh. Over thinking). Anyway I wrote fuji asking about it cause the whip was blowing off the compression fitting. He told me, nicely, that I had it connected to the WRONG end of the big hose. I face palmed. At any rate, even though it was my fault, they shipped me out a new whip hose the next day.!!attached are images of the birch plywood ive sprayed .. the interior parts of the cabinets (yes, Id have liked better wood to work with but rural MS doesnt have a lot of fine lumber selection!!)Each piece was taken down to 320 grit, then hit with two coats of sanding sealer. That was taken down with 400 grit paper before spraying 4 coats of EM6000.The photos are pieces of the first cabinet, resting for the 100 hr cure time on the EM6000. So thats how they look after the lacquer job. Once they are cured they will get a 600 grit wet sand. 0000 fine wool. then pumice and rottenstone to polish.The quality and the gloss are hard to really see in the pictures... but I couldn't be more thrilled at the performance and the speed.spraying a coat on 4 pieces takes about a minute.try that with a brush.The quality of the unit, its ease of use/cleaning and the customer service are all top notch.all I can say is.. GET THIS.

Got this from the Returns Warehouse. Saved a lot. Had a small dent in the cover but otherwise perfect. Pulled it out to paint some cabinetry and it did not disappoint. I have used several HF guns for laying down water born polys and they were fine except when they weren't. Not having a dedicated air supply for painting meant I had to deal with moister and oil in the lines. It was either purchase expensive filtering systems or this. This won because I saw simplicity and maintainability. Just pull out of the box, thin the paint if needed (not needed if using something like GF poly) and spray. Cleanup is just like any other HVLP gun and put it away. I bought several air caps so I can do both cabinetry and auto painting. I was concerned about the temperature of the air from the unit but that did not seem to affect the finish. This was a great addition to my shop. Going to buy another gun so I can dedicate solvent vs water coatings. Would buy again.

Works very well for acrylic and varnish mediums which is what I am using it for. The key is to create the right viscosity for the medium you are trying to spray. Easy to clean and easy to use. Happy with the build quality and the extensive amount of how to and support videos Fuji has published.

I don't normally write reviews but this has been one of my most regrettable purchases. From the get-go, the machine was quite loud, despite the manufacturer's claims of quiet operation. Pretty early on, I also noticed an electrical burning smell. I was also disappointed with the results. I haven't been able to get good atomization with even polys, which suggests bat pressure output. For a 5 stage turbine, this is unacceptable. Several projectgs went by, I've been compensating by doing extra sanding and keeping the flow rates super low.Finally this week was the last straw. I noticed a clinking sound coming from the turbine and then it sounded terrible. Shut everything down and found a bunch of metal chunks fell out of my gun when i disconnected. I've tried a couple times to troubleshoot, hoped the metal chunks would stop coming out, but i think the turbine is ready for the dumpster. Too many ruined projects.
