Here is the deal with the cheap Plasma cutters on Ebay. Generally poor Powerfactor on the powersupply compared to better units.. I had or have Thermal Dynamics ,Esab,Hypertherm and the like..No such issues.. There are some machines made in China that certainly do not suffer from that either. It...

Looks like R-30 HU is probably the unit model # Only reason I know about the Pumps a bit,because I talked to the a guy at Pacific Air. He put the bug in Champion to put the R-30 pump with a 7.5 HP Motor.. Sold tons off them the first year.. I have the 7.5 HP/ R-30d model of that unit. I am...

R-30 is a 15 hp pump.. I would look for a R-30D (Disk valve unit)

Try the manual pump arm to lift off the air locks to lower it..

Many compressor have a low end compressor speed of 400 rpm.. Means nothing if the CFM does not cut it..Speed it up or use a larger pump geared with-in the range you need . It's just a pulley/motor matched to the correct pump .

There are many Dialarc, and Idealarc 250 around that price.Look for one of those.Most of those you could not stick a rod if you tried.. Bigger, and heavier but all transformer weight..

Looking inside a Atlas on the tire machine was not that impressive.. Lot of that is markeing on how they work.. Most are totally fine, and do a good job.. I have a Atlas midrise lift , but just could not pull the trigger on the tire mahine for the price wanted..

I lot of the China machines are made by Bright Manufacturing. Derek Weaver.etc.. I had good luck with mine over the 7 years I had them.. I built a manual unit, because the tire shop just piss me off to no end.. Not having to deal with any of that nonsense makes the Balancer/Tire machine worth...

I think you will like any on your list.. I bought a Curtis 5 hp with the E-50 (3 cylinder disk vave) new about 1999 and finally sold it to my friend for his shop..Cabinet blasting, Plasma table, air tools etc. Never one issue, and still like new. I ended up with a used 3 phase 7.5 horse that I...

I agree for lighter use only.. Mine showed up yesterday ($300) I will say it has really nice softwre, and complete drive roll set for MS/Flux-core/Aluminum The spool-gun takes a washer under the tentioner to make it funtion correctly..Minor issue.. The Software has a MS/SS/Self-Shielded...

The cones are fine. I took one of the larger ones, and had it turned to fit Toyota rims..Awesome setup, and my China Balancer does them great.. I put my neighbors factory Tacoma wheels on my balancer and measured 2 thou. run-out on his rims..I was really impressed with factory rims on...

Picked this one up,,,Sprinkler system compressor . These are set for 40 psi max, and hardly get used.. I just run it when i don't need the big one.. I changed the pulley, and belts to slow it down,and it's super quiet. Plenty of CFM for most things too. Still 3 phase, but i just use my Rotary...

Almost everyday.. I tend to have very high quality air tools, and like to use them.. I upgraded my 5 hp disk valve Curtis that I bought new, and picked up a 7.5 HP Champion disk valve compressor . (R-30D 15 hp pump)The Curtis went to my friends shop, and it's perfect after 22 years of use..I...

Thanks, I looked but could not spot the RPM it ran at.. It's nice to know the 175 psi /Pump RPM/Motor hp size used to get there. You can set up a good cross reference between units. I would of not bought this Champion unless it had some real benefit over the USA built Curtis I had.. I can still...
