    5hp 240 Volt Air compressor Install

    I was going to go with the automotive style as mentioned above, but I ended up using some stuff I already had and a Solberg filter... The noise is reduced, but not greatly.

    The Abrasive Blasting Resource Thread

    My upgraded harbor freight cabinet works better than I ever thought it could, amazing difference, although I have an unbelievable amount of time in it, at this point, but it was well worth it.
