Dewalt DXCMLA4708065 – Electric Air Compressor

Description

DEWALT DXCMLA4708065 Air Compressor – 80 Gallon Vertical Stationary Electric (3-Cylinder Cast Iron Pump)

The DEWALT DXCMLA4708065 is a heavy-duty 80-gallon vertical stationary electric air compressor designed for professional workshops, automotive repair facilities, and light industrial environments that require high airflow, long runtime, and consistent pressure delivery.

This model is built around a cast iron, 3-cylinder, oil-lubricated reciprocating pump, paired with a heavy-duty induction motor and a large 80-gallon ASME-certified vertical air receiver tank. It is engineered for durability, smooth operation, and extended duty cycles in demanding shop conditions.

It delivers approximately 14 CFM at 90 PSI (and ~16.1 CFM at 40 PSI) with a maximum pressure of 155 PSI, making it suitable for running multiple pneumatic tools in a workshop setting.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty 80-gallon vertical ASME steel tank
• Cast iron 3-cylinder oil-lubricated compressor pump
• Air delivery: ~14 CFM @ 90 PS
• High-efficiency industrial induction motor (~4.7 HP class)
• Integrated control panel (gauges, regulator, quick-connect outlets)
• Full metal belt guard for protection and cooling
• Large intake filter and silencer system
• Oil sight glass and accessible maintenance design
• Designed for continuous workshop operation

• Metal fabrication shops
• Pneumatic tool systems
• Painting and finishing work

Dewalt DXCMLA4708065 – Electric Air Compressor: Buying Considerations

The DXCMLA4708065 is designed for steady, continuous shop air supply rather than peak portable performance. Its strength lies in its large tank capacity combined with a low-RPM cast iron pump, which allows it to:

Maintain stable pressure during tool use
Reduce compressor cycling frequency
Support multiple intermittent air tools at once

Typical use cases include:

Automotive repair shops
Tire service centers
Maintenance departments
Light fabrication and metalworking
Painting and spray applications (moderate duty)

It is not intended for heavy continuous tools like large sandblasting systems or industrial grinders running nonstop.

Before ordering the Dewalt DXCMLA4708065 – Electric Air Compressor from Dewalt, review the points below against your actual site conditions and workload. Published specifications describe the equipment under test conditions, and real-world performance depends on how closely your application matches those conditions. Buyers in the United States, Canada, and Asia should also confirm local voltage and frequency requirements, applicable safety or emissions standards, and freight or import logistics for the destination before finalizing an order.

What to Check Before You Buy

• Total the real CFM demand of every tool that could run at the same time, then add reserve capacity for leaks and future tools – not just the single largest tool's rating.
• Confirm voltage and phase availability (120V/240V, single/three-phase) matches the compressor's electrical requirement.
• Check tank size relative to duty cycle – a larger tank reduces motor cycling on intermittent loads but does not substitute for adequate CFM on continuous-demand tools.
• Review noise rating if the compressor will run in an occupied or noise-sensitive space.

Does tank size matter more than CFM for a shop air compressor?

CFM output matters more for continuous-demand tools (sanders, grinders); tank size matters more for intermittent high-draw tools (impact wrenches, nail guns) where the tank supplies a burst faster than the motor could alone. Undersized CFM cannot be fixed by a bigger tank if the tool's continuous demand exceeds the compressor's output.

For sizing help across the full Compressor category, compare specifications side by side before committing to a specific model, and confirm current pricing, availability, and freight details for your location. Keep the supplier data sheet and any acceptance criteria on record for future maintenance and replacement decisions.
