If you’re a regular reader of Woodsmith, then you’ll know that we often use spray-on finishes for our projects. Of course, the drawback to spraying on finishes is that you’ll need to buy a sprayer. However, if that’s an investment you’re looking to make, then Fuji Spray’s new D6 Sprayer is certainly worth consideration.

FUJI SPRAY D6 SPRAYER.

If you’re a regular reader of Woodsmith, then you’ll know that we often use spray-on finishes for our projects. There’s two major reasons for this. First, spraying is usually the best way to achieve an even finish.

Second, it’s quick, and with the number of projects we create for each issue, it’s certainly worth the investment for us. Of course, the drawback to spraying on finishes is that you’ll need to buy a sprayer. However, if that’s an investment you’re looking to make, then Fuji Spray’s new D6 Sprayer is certainly worth consideration.

SIX-STAGE TURBINE.

The D6 Sprayer gets its name from its six-stage turbine. As you can see below, the stages can easily be switched by pressing a button on the interface. The low stages are useful for thin liquids like dyes and stains that don’t take much pressure to spray. On the other end, the upper stages work to apply catalyzed lacquer or latex paint.

This is a high-volume low-pressure (HVLP) sprayer, so there’s no need to thin paint or other finish before applying it — just fill the can and spray.



The six-stage turbine allows the sprayer to apply a number of finishes from stains and dyes to paints and lacquers.

T70 SPRAY GUN.

There are a couple choices of spray guns that you can purchase from Fuji alongside the turbine itself, and we decided to go with the bottom-feed T70 Spray Gun. With a one-quart capacity, this was the clear choice given the size of projects we usually need to finish.

PERFORMANCE.

In terms of function, Fuji’s products don’t disappoint. The turbine provides plenty of power on each setting. Having a total of 31' of hose means I never need to move the turbine as I finish a project, and the remote allows me to start and stop without needing to walk back to it. The T70 Spray Gun has fan pattern and volume adjustments that make it simple to eliminate overspray. So, if you’re looking to make the investment in spraying, the D6 Sprayer is a quality choice.
