I guess the 680 is just a typo. Well, most likely it will be SB or Champion as it doesnt make sense now to spend this amount of money on QP.

There is only 1 "motor pulley" (or any pulley) in the catalog (for both QP and QT). How else can I check? Also, wouldnt they advertise the RPM actual in their sheet? Its a bit too much to list X RPM and expect customer to figure out final RPM after factoring the pulleys

Even the pulley part number is the same and its "3852-118"

Thank you. Good idea. Parts catalog for QP-5 : https://www.revbase.com/TagTeam/client/Download.asp?FileID=7885858&DataID=2471638&ViewID=2&OrderID=0 Parts catalog for QT-5 : https://www.revbase.com/TagTeam/client/Download.asp?FileID=7886190&DataID=2471721&ViewID=3&OrderID=0 The motor part...

Is there a way to know if the QP and QT have the same pump? Also, this is the spec sheet that says 680 RPM as a reference : https://www.aircompressorsdirect.com/manuals/c53e3b56eae9894a314007d2081ac05f.pdf

Budget is a funny concept. I dont have a limit but I also do. The limit isnt a real limit, its more of a mental one. I hate overspending. But at the same time, I believe in buying once and best (within my means). That being said, I have one last question/clarification I need that I am at a bit...

I thought lights dimming was due to improper wire size. Lights can dim even in a smaller circuit if you dont upsize. I always oversize wire for pretty much anything. I ran a 2/0 to a 125 amp sub panel that is about 2.5-3 ft from where the compressor will be and I plan to run #6 or #8 THHN (7.5...

Well, if quincy's readings/spec is accurate (and I have no reason to doubt that), the difference between a 1750 rpm pump vs a 680 rpm pump ias 13 db. That is around 2.5 times louder. I spent quite a bit of my adult life in exhaust tuning with db meters and trust me even a single db makes an...

I dont, but I dont want to go crazy and overpay for something I wont be able to take advantage of. I think $2000-3000 is what I had in mind. The way I think about this is paying $1450 for QT-54 and have a 101db compressor that will turn into a baking oven is wasteful spending. I would rather...

Well, two things: 1) This is my current use. The current use does not include potential use which I cant do right now because I dont have a compressor. In other words, I dont have any other use cases because I dont have the capability to even explore. 2) I have no other way of performing the...

Here is my use case: - It is a attached garage (upstairs rooms are bedrooms). - I will run things like car lifts and a running scissor lift (which requires a lot of air above 125 psi). - Air tools (impact wrench, die grinders, nail gun). - Spray painting (but NOT automotive paint). Where I...

Sorry, I am not following. Are you saying quincy isnt as good or the other way around?

I am looking at the champion compressors and it looks like their compressors cost a bit less and have better cfm/pump figures. Is there something I am missing? Why is quincy more money?

Thank you for the write up. I did not handle the hose that big. My plan was to have a reel in my garage and pull the hose from the window into my backyard where I need to do things like spray painting 200 ft+ long fence or our deck that is pretty big. I think the furthest I would go with the...

The length of the run is also something that is important for me. I have quite a few projects around my house where I will need to have a fairly long, 150+ ft airline to do spray painting, nail gun, die grinder out in the field. I dont know if the QT-54 would work.
