New price $700 cash. I'd consider selling the compressor heads individually at $325 each.

Price drop, $800

Quincy model 240 Duplex compressor. Two identical compressors on one 125 gallon tank. One with 7.5 hp motor second with 2 hp (runs slower). They’re both quiet, the slower one more so. Can run one, the other, or both at once. 3 phase 240 V New air filters and oil several years ago. Used...

I scrounged a piece of cast iron from an old diesel piston, you could purchase some cast iron bar stock to start with. Cast iron because the nut needs to be broken in half later, cast iron breaks instead of bending http://www.dura-bar.com/products/gray-iron/index.cfm The threads are 3"-12, I...

Used flea market dollies are hit and miss for me. Some I've bought are hard and useful, some seem OK enough to buy but turn out to be too soft and mark easily. The clearly cast iron and or heavily marked ones I pass on, they're going to be too soft. Best bet is just buy new Martin, they're...

Yep, that's what I was thinking. And what good quality tools they might have can still be found at better prices whenever I've looked. It's been years now that I ordered from them. I bought a flare tool from Brakequip and have been very pleased with it, it may or may not be the same...

Sorry for the bad picture links, I put a new one in the first post.

Right, clutch head. Used a fair amount on small screws and things on the 45-53 Chevy trucks I like, and I'm sure other years outside of that.

It works on the bigger joints like Spicer 1610, 1710 and so on. The bolts are used to attach the center plate to the yoke. The outer legs push against the other yoke. It seems a little strange but works well. no use for normal car and truck size joints, just the big ones with bolt on caps...

I think 1,000 is either fair or a little high on the Quincy. However it does seem to be the best compressor of the lot not considering price. If as mentioned it is only $1,800 new and even with low hours and considering the actual age that's not a huge bargain at 1,000. If you're in the...

very nice saw. I have one as well, it earns it's keep. I don't use any cutting fluid, occasionally a stick of wax like cutting stuff on the back of the blade to keep it from squeaking. It is still a mess, so don't plan on yours staying clean after you spruce it up, unless you never use it...

it is a nice shear, might be a tad expensive, might be just right depending on local prices... Otherwise if you buy sheet metal by the sheet at a standard 4' wide then a 36-37" shear will only frustrate you. If you only get metal in that is 3' or less then it'd be a great shear. I have a 36"...

bolting the compressor to a heavy chunk of concrete could help with vibration. Perhaps not ideal for an attic location though...

Without comparing spec sheets I can't answer all of that. The running speed is a factor in the CFM output, so consider that in your comparison. I think the advantage of using the Quincy as the lead compressor is it is small, high quality and efficiency and loafs along. When you don't need much...
