Okay thanks, yea I took it wrong then. We're are currently on the same page then. Thanks again for clearing that up.

Speak for yourself, I don't consider it ridiculous or my time wasted...not at all. Actually, I enjoyed most of it. The time tinkering is more less fun time. That nut hanging up on the shaft was stressful, so yes, there are some exceptions one could consider. Anyway in the end I have 1hp Bench...

Thanks for that info tarbellb, it'll come in handy for sure. Yea, I hadn't heard of or noticed that there was a difference between Asian import tools in the past. Grizzly, - I did look at those, -it was more of a quick look and didn't really give them much thought. I'll take a better look iun...

Old thread, 2012 I believe. Big disappoint here as well. Anyway, I purchased the same Jet Bench Grinder (JET JBG-8A) new in the box from an eBay seller. It was new, still wrapped in that thin plastic around the box. Purchased this one because I could see it was new vs. taking a chance on...

Damn, - yea that's a fairly cheap brass fitting stub there. A narrow brass hex like that can get messed up easily. If changing that male stub was easy, I might opt for that...hard to say. If it's soldered on , - scratch that, - too much work. - IF it's threaded into iron, I'd grab a socket and...

Yea, either dope or tape here as well. I prefer good dope. Allot of people mix the two. That's an older way that's been around for a long time. Hey whatever works right ? There's more reliable methods today. Why take the chance..uknow. b-body-bob, - For 3/4 NPT and for the seal your looking...

That's about right. It is a torque by feel thing towards the end there, -as mobiledynamics referred too above. 3 threads left over is an "on average" number for 9 thread BI or Stainless. That can vary either way about a 3/4 turn,- as you most likely know.

Did you mean to say,-Tape isn't considered a lube ? I agree with the tightening procedure mobiledynamics...same here. - you should be able to get one more turn...specially w/3/4". Actually 3/4 NPT = 9T - 3/3/3 Tightening sequence. - That's 3 loose, 3 engagement, 3 threads left. b-body-bob -...

:lol:

The correlation ? If you have just one adjustment screw, the splits equally either way. Start out with a half turn and work form there...to get an idea how sensitive the adjustment screw is. Do you not know your cut out and cut in ? Starting from scratch maybe ? Perhaps your looking for this...

Exactly :thumbup: -and this is a big advantage as far as wear and tear. There's much less filter maintenance, heat, cycles, etc.. If you have a 2 stage 175 psi system, take advantage of it. Keep the header @ max. I run max right up to the station regulators. The regulators HAVE TO BE properly...

Mayflower :lol: I believe shelf life for Kester is 2 years isn't it ? *****, -Kester isn't cheap. I think I still have a couple large old rolls 5lbs or better, if you want it. Yea ,fresh rosin is always best IMO, - specially with that resistance picky work.

That Champ (gardner denver) would be quieter than my 2stage IR, in comparison. Well , it should be anyway, - even though the IR is on rubbers/+cork. That DV looks well built GYPSY

It's only what; about 600 lbs? :eyecrazy:

Yea, a lot of people do. Curious how much quieter they are when sitting on rubber pads..if any ?
