I've come across and looked at the Quincy's, Kaeser's, Atlas Copco's and others. My own challenges are that most all of these are 3Ph, larger form factor, do not have an integrated auto-drain or dryer and are hard-wired at the auction site. And part of the rigging/removal requirements at most...

Hello Ryan, I just picked up a near-new Cal Air Tool 20040DCADC Ultra-Quiet for our garage shop with Auto-Drain and 98% dryer. I've been watching the auctions and was lucky to nab this one. 2 years old, extremely low hours, $703 + commission and tax. Got rid of our old 80-gal DeWalt for...

Hello Tarbellb, Going to pull the stock chuck off tomorrow and change to the Nova Keyless Chuck. I have no idea how it got locked up. As mentioned, the front cover was off and lying on the table when I saw it in the catalogue. During the walkthrough, I happened to talk with the maintenance...

Some interesting concepts. In my area, we have a commercial door manufacturer that generates cull doors occasionally. I've seen 48" x 120" x 1-34" lumber core with P-lam skins. They may be miss-bored for mortise locks or incorrect hinge prep. They can be had for very little. The attached...

Hello Golf Nut, New member here, I'm not sure if you watch the machinery auctions but my son and I just picked up a Nova Voyager 58000 for unbelievably cheap. During the pre-bid walk through I asked the maintenance guy why the control keypad and MCB were lying on the base. He said one of...

Good afternoon, First, Merry Xmas and Happy New Year's to all. I've been a visitor for some time but never felt the need to contribute. It seems like there are plenty of members with far more knowledge than I have or ever will have. Second, I've enjoyed working with my friends, family and...
