I just commented on one of your other videos, and I'm going to sound like a shill, but I really did just receive a Q5 that I bought because of your videos. I have zero experience so ended up with the T70 to start, mostly because of the steel container and the fact that with bottom feed I can just sit the sprayer down anywhere. I'm going to give it my first go this evening.
The short answer is no. The T70 gun is good as a pressure assisted bottom feed gun, or works great with the Fuji 2qt. pressure pot. The T75g is the gravity feed version in the T series gun lineup. The M model does share the same gun body for the bottom feed and gravity feed versions. Thanks!
I have a Fuji touch-up gun that came with a turbine package, but honestly I haven't used it yet. I believe it's a bleeder style gun, where most modern Fuji guns are non-bleed style. I'll be sure to post a video when I get a chance to use it. I keep reaching for the T75G and G-XPC, and forgot about the touch up gun!
I've been spraying for awhile with an inexpensive Rockler HVLP setup that I bought in a pinch when I couldn't get a good finish using a brush on a walnut desk top. I've been eyeing the Fuji system for awhile as I save up for a quality HVLP system. Since I primary use water based Poly I think the Mini-Mate 3 will work best for my budget. My next project involve spraying the inside of boxes (storage cubes for my camper). I really like the compactness of the G-XPC gun, but I've seen another video that speaks to the quality of the T70/T75G series being much better than the G-XPC. Since you have both I'm asking for your thoughts?@@TheThoughtfulWoodworker
@@TheThoughtfulWoodworker Great!Thanks for the feedback. I can see in your other videos how easy it is to clean too. Great videos, keep up the good work!
Hello I have a gravity gun but cup so little you mentioned I can buy a bottom feed cup for that gun and used it can you tell me the name to order it on Amazon thanks
I mostly spray water-based lacquers from Target Coatings. ... Would using a 3-stage unit perform better atomization than a 2-stage? Would it reduce orange peel?
Yes, I think you'd appreciate the difference stepping up to a 3 stage. You won't have to thin the material as much, and it should eliminate orange peel, as long as you're using the right air cap set. Best to you.
Hello there. I was wondering if you tried greco’s newest quick shot spray gun. I was wondering how it compares to an HLVP 4 stage. You’re a pro so if anyone knows the answer to that it’s you. Cheers from Chicago.
Hi Ben, I haven't shot that one yet, but looks like it sprays the same as my X7 Airless. I use airless sprayers for staining fences and painting my house. For fine furniture I prefer the turbine style HVLP systems, simply because they produce a finer finish and far less overspray. Airless sprayers have the advantage on speed, and you don't have to thin most products. Best of luck with your decision.
So is there any functional differences between the t and m model guns? I tend to like the full metal body of the cup, and also like the fact that one gun can be both bottom feed and gravity fed. I'm thinking of purchasing the semi pro 2. I mostly just want to spray urathane, and paint on home made furniture and cabinets.
Hi Chris, there seems to be very little difference between the M and T model. Maybe a few extra stainless steel parts in the T model, but I've never had an issue with the M model. It's the only Fuji gun that can convert from a bottom feed to a gravity feed, with the optional cup. I have a video on the Amazon Semi Pro 2 listing looking at both M model guns. Good luck with your decision!
@@TheThoughtfulWoodworker Thanks for the information, I will go look at your other video. I'm wondering one last question please, since I spray latex paint and oil based polyurathane, would it be wise to also purchase a 2.0 or 1.8 tip, thinking it will help with not needing to dilute the product, and have a thicker urathane coat for a nice glass like finish? Or is the 1.3 tip good for both? I figure to get the best deal I nned to buy everything in one shot so I don't have to pay extra shipping latter on. Thanks.
@@TheThoughtfulWoodworker Thanks, I will order the kit. I look forwards to getting nicer results over hand painting my work. Thanks for all your time and information.
It depends on the system itself. If you are considering a particular system or brand, it should state in the manual what type of fluids you can spray, along with recommended tip sizes. Check for an online manual and see what you can find out. If the un-thinned viscosity of your poly allows it to flow from a #4 Ford cup in 35-45 seconds, you should be fine. If not, you may have to thin slightly with water.
Most of the turbine based guns work the same way. They operate with less than 10psi. I would think if the fittings match, it should work. I haven't tried it though. Best to you.
Excellent and helpful review. Thank you.
Great video. Very helpful.
Thanks Michael!

You can't go wrong with the T70 gun. It has a larger cup for big jobs. Have fun with it!
Tough deciding between the M model, T series and G-XPC spray guns.
Is there a conversion kit for the T70 to make it into a gravity gun?
The short answer is no. The T70 gun is good as a pressure assisted bottom feed gun, or works great with the Fuji 2qt. pressure pot. The T75g is the gravity feed version in the T series gun lineup. The M model does share the same gun body for the bottom feed and gravity feed versions. Thanks!
That's a nice garden hose
Yes, the HVLP turbine hoses look and feel like a garden hose. At least they have a flexible whip near the gun. Best to you.
You can use a remote as well right?
Do you have any videos or reviews about the Fuji 9622 Touch-Up Spray Gun?
Thanks
Randy

@@warrenbarnes6629 biggest difference is the cup size, smaller on the Gxpc. I use it just as often as the other guns. You'll like it.

I'd love to help but I'd need more information. Is it a Fuji gun? If so, what model? The M model switches easily between bottom feed and gravity feed.

Can a LVLP be used to spray water based poly?
It depends on the system itself. If you are considering a particular system or brand, it should state in the manual what type of fluids you can spray, along with recommended tip sizes. Check for an online manual and see what you can find out. If the un-thinned viscosity of your poly allows it to flow from a #4 Ford cup in 35-45 seconds, you should be fine. If not, you may have to thin slightly with water.
Does fufi sell the stand shown with tr he T models
No that's actually not a Fuji brand gravity feed stand. I found it on Amazon or eBay. Thanks.
Can a non Fuji HVLP gun be used with the Fuji system with the correct fitting?
Most of the turbine based guns work the same way. They operate with less than 10psi. I would think if the fittings match, it should work. I haven't tried it though.
Best to you.
