I didn't read all replies but in order i think. Clean work piece perfect, i guess you have a good foot control which can be very helpful in arc control, good steady hand....dont dip your TIG torch in puddle, if so re sharpen and dont try to let it clean itself. I think practice is the best thing...

I will say a Quincy 325 of which i have three on 80/150 gal. tanks. All now single phase 5 hp with 8"-16" rpm ratio.

Man what a long thread. Proped up on mine right now and it is also a "General Fireproofing" from Youngstown, Ohio with gray top, six side and one center drawer. As you say heavy as can be and gray in color with dark gray/black top and rounded corners. Got it and a equally heavy thirty drawer...

I am just into air compressors and love everything about them. They are all Quincy 325-13 but hard to beat the way they sound as they start and unload. Lots of air tools and blast booth to feed.

I want to hook up two Quincy 325 compressors with 120 gal tanks into one system. These are about 75 ft. apart in shop, one outside in enclosure the other inside. 1/2" gal. plumbing and both on at 120psi off at 150psi, both with check valves between tank and pump. One is operating at about 600...

Good deal....I replaced the o-ring on oil pump shaft at end of crank. Going to pull it back apart since it on table anyway and check all the other things you mentioned. These parts looked good but i will replace with new parts. Thanks.

No actually the pipe thread port where the oil pressure gauge goes. Took gauge out after all the priming and started for a second.....Nothing, no oil here and this is the passage downstream of the hydraulic unloader so it couldn't work. This thing for some reason will not pick up a drop of oil...

Checked at opening where oil pressure gauge goes with unit running and no oil pressure also tried the oil pressure relief spring/ball but nothing. I will try the hydraulic unloader off the good pump. My problem is i guess thinking that the oil pressure is in fact the first thing needed in this...

I have got my extra one up and running fine. Back to the troubled one... As i said it has a vane oil pump not the geared one. I found a known good one on line and took it apart to check condition which was exc. There is a insert in the cast pump body outboard of the rotor and four vanes. This is...

I have three Quincy 325's and leaving in the morning to go just North of Nashville to pick up another. I wish i had some control over this but i don't.

As in title i have a Quincy 325-13 that i have had since 1974 with no trouble at all. All of a sudden it stopped making oil pressure and was as a result not pumping air. I have worked on this thing until it is killing me to the point i bought another 325 and put it in this troubled ones place...

Quite obvious new guy here but your work is beautiful on this project. I to had used .750 thickness on a 4'X 8' table and could see ever so slight swag even with six legs.

Hello everyone, New guy checking in from the South West part of Virginia. Been through the whole deal of Marine Corps. DMZ Vietnam, Virginia Trooper and long time pilot. Retired now with a shop i can do the work i need to the old Series Land Rovers i have. Rebuilding an extra Quincy 325-13...
