TIMBERTECH AG 183-K Review! Is this the best cheap airbrush on amazon?

Timbertech AG 183 K airbrush review. This is a remarkably cheap yet highly versatile and so far proving to be very durable airbrush! I have not found another cheap airbrush that Have liked more!

Being self centering removeable nozzles is a huge advantage over tiny screw in nozzles that can get lost or damaged easily. ESPECIALLY for new airbrush artists!
I did forget to mention I polished the needles so I am mentioning it here!

I forgot to mention I DID polish all 3 needles in this airbrush, however every cheap airbrush and some more expensive ones have needed polishing.

Thanks for coming by! I appreciate each and every one of you!

Couldn't agree more, bought this for my first airbrush and it's amazing for the £20 I paid for it!! Seems incredibly well made for that money. If you're new to airbrushing it's the perfect starter. Cheers

Based on your recommendation, I got 3 airbrushes (Point Zero pz-360, Sparmax max 35, and Timbertech AG 183 K) all 3 are excellent and budget-friendly, this one is a remarkable, well-said versatile dream.😁

Just scooped one up for $25 lol. Crazy price. Will use for the .8 coverage only. Well worth it thanks as usual for tips tricks and reviews. Love the channel 😎😎

Got the Sagud version for Christmas from my family and I am very happy with the results! Thanks and Be Safe!

Great info! I first started airbrushing back around 1996. Wish I had all your videos back then. Everything was trial and error. Thanks . 👍👏

Just got this airbrush, haven't had a chance to use it yet. Going to try it out on some t-shirts. Thanks for the tip

I just got one of these and am generally pleased with it, especially for work with heavier mediums. There is one thing I can’t figure out and that is the downward trigger action. It grabs at bit when I depress the trigger then releases with a little jerk instead of moving freely. I’ve stripped it down and put it back together and nothing changed. Not a showstopper but mildly annoying. I can’t try another trigger at the moment as the pin is a smaller diameter than my other Chinese brushes which all have a detachable air valve assembly.

Hi on the first video of that 183k airbrush i responded and we had a little conversation. I have bought in this month another 2 Fengda 183K airbrushes. Now i got 3 for the totale price of $108, -. All set up in 1 size. Now i got replacement parts for all of them in stock. Bought then also a tube of Flitzz polishing paste.And man the are gowing smooth as a hot knife through the butter. About that front o-ring you can use that white tape or Vaseline and Beewax. I prefer the Vaseline because under pressure and the air passing it close up perfect, and in the ultrasonic it cleaner much faster.Beewax is a bit more stubborn. Glad i found your channel and learning from these vid, s a lot. Because i am still a beginner airbrush use.

These are great bargains! I ordered one of these based on 2 things... 1. because of your review, and 2. because the nozzle design was identical to the Neoeco 116B (pistol grip and trigger style) which I really love for finishes on the guitars I build. In fact, today I ordered 2 more of the AG-183-K's as this will give me a dedicated .3mm, .5mm, and .8mm setup without having to change nozzles each time, and gives me 2 extra needle sets for each size. I really do think these are the most versatile airbrushes on the market, and at the same time very affordable for the performance they give. The only other airbrush I would recommend is the Neoeco new design SJ83, which also has drop in nozzles but the size range is .2mm, .3mm, and .5mm, which will give you the .2mm for very fine detail. I am thoroughly convinced at this point that actual performance is based on needle/nozzle design, well polished needles (which you will have to do with all brands and setups), and smooth action. So, if you can get those three things for under $30 there is no need for the big name airbrushes. If you are looking for the pistol grip/trigger style, make sure it is the 116B, NOT the 116A. The 116A also has a drop in style nozzle (which they call a new design) but they are impossible to find replacements as of yet on Amazon, or anywhere else for that matter. Thanks again Bill for all that you do in this channel! You are the most down to earth yet, intelligent person I have seen talking about airbrushes.

That needle restrictor or what you call it in English at the back, i used teflon tape to make it tight, works beautiful.

Seems all the cheap airbrushes from the past year or 2 are very much improved. I have the Master side feed version of this airbrush from 4 or so years ago and only the .3 and 5 setups worked. The .8 needle hole in the cap was off center and looked to me like it was to long front to back to get decent atomization. Based on your review here, this looks to be a new and improved top feed version from the Fengda factory. I've had one saved for later in my Amazon cart for the last year or so. (I did buy the timbertech side feed with screw in nozzles and am very impressed with that airbrush for the price.) Think I'll pull the trigger and grab this airbrush. Looks like lots of room between the cup and the trigger also, which I like! Thanks for the review!

Little late to the party on your channel and new subscriber. Thanks very much for the information you provide. I bit on one of these and am not disappointed. There are two issues with this brush that I am still working on. 1. Upon pulling back the trigger, it is very rough almost like it hangs or there are rough spots in the slot. Still working on smoothing it out. Despite that it sprays better than the two masters I have been working with. 2. When screwing on my air quick disconnect tight enough for it not to leak, the brush sprays air out of the nozzle. Ordered tools to address this and I suspect the quality of my quick disconnect. Thanks again for this body of work on the channel. I just keep pouring over it.

My hubby & I got ours because of this video! He lives his and I’m just going to give mine a go tonight. We may get a few more too

[nikolajc]

I had mine for while now, not using it much as you do but i love it more and more every time i use it, havent tried the 0, 8 yet but 0, 3 and 0, 5, im surprised it responds faster on 0, 3 setup than 0, 5.
When ive got it it was very laggy so i made a plastic shim i set behind the thing up against the trigger so it pulls the needle right away, before i had to pull 1/3 backwards before any paint came out.
Im very happy with it Bill.👍👍👍

[madera]

Got one for myself but under Fengda brand, Fengda BD-183 0.8mm, only airbrush and cups, no needles

[MikesBrush]

I ordered one based on your recommendation, expect my follow up video soon. Lots of big statements were made in this video lol.

[nikolajc]

I just ordered one of those airbrushes on amazon from your link, should be here in a weeks time.👍

[topouzidd]

Got mine for $60 (because that’s how much it sells in my country) and the very tip of the 0.3 and the 0.5 was bent. It was scratchy to the finger and if you saw under magnifier you could see the bent. It was clearly a new and unused brush that came this way from the manufacturer. I had to run it on a 1000 grit sanding and then polish it. It’s good now, but it’s something I’d never forgive in an Iwata. Seeing that this is an airbrush that goes for $20-$30 in other countries makes sense about the needle quality, and the $60 I paid seems a bit stretched.

[thunder]

another awesome video my friend, but I wonder if there is a larger capacity cup that you can buy from another manufacture?
