I disassembled the press to get the table bracket off and to clean up the post. Its very gummy and dirty from neglect. I took the "big" table and bracket to a local machinist with REAL tools. He is going to turn me a bushing "of sorts" and tap the table bracket to accept the larger table...

Been to those sites. Tables are available (big money) just trying to verify what I have, thus the measurements of the table and where it attaches to post. Can anyone with same model verify my measurements to see if its wrong table. I'm probably stuck with buying new one or fabbing something...

I thought i got a good deal on a used jet jdp-20mf. Not sure how old it is. Any way I can find out more details about the machine?? It appears the table is not correct. Didn't find that out until I got it home and looked. Started exploring why it was so loose. the "wrong" table is in really...

somebody mentioned a voltage drop on the contact relays causing a higher resistance? I don't understand or maybe mis understood the concept....anyone explain? I'll check and see if relays are 220 or 110. I do know I wired the relays using the same circuit. Meanwhile I'll do some exploring...

C96 I'm trying to figure out how to adjust the overload relay. Can't find any literature on the Noark. 30 Amp CB #6 wire about 15ft from the CB to the motor.

I'll try to be more clear. Redmond- number 2... the compressor is starting without any load because i'm holding the release valve open as the motor comes up to speed then I release it. Otherwise the pressure just builds too fast in the plumbing for a clean start. I see what you are saying...

I've got a problem when I start my air compressor for the first time each day. subsequent starts are not a problem and I'm wondering if the "warm" pump/motor are a bit easier to start? All check valves, safety valves and unloaders are new and working properly. When starting it seems to...

Right now it is running fine with no more oil dripping. I'm going to monitor the oil level and see if it starts to decrease. It seems to fill up fast, but I have nothing to compare it to. What would be other symptoms of scored cylinders or shot rings? any noise while turning it over by hand...

Trying to read into this. "pumping oil" meaning the rings are shot and oil is getting past them???? On the test run it seemed to fill up the tank quickly and sounded very nice. Prior to turning it on I turned it over by hand a number of times and it was smooth. What about it being tipped...

Now for the hitches. Got a oil leak from the hi pressure head. Ran it a bit and noticed a drop of oil on top of tank. It is coming from one of the head bolts. Still looking for the specs on torque for the heads if anyone has them. I think I'll just tighten and see if that takes care of it...

Ok sorry about not updating. In between all the other projects I finally dedicated some time to this one. Got it running today and it makes sweet music compared to the screamer craftsman. It took longer than I thought cleaning the tank. I went to work on the big bungs to no avail. Got...

They do look exactly the same as the Wilkersons that I bought. And cheaper too, just wondering about quality.... its easy to put lipstick on a pig, just look at all the stuff we import from China. Ice

I like the idea of that valve and may try it in the future. For now I'm just going to get a check valve with an unloader port. I'll get a pressure switch with the unloader valve so when the pressure switch opens to shut down the motor it will unload the pump to tank line. I will just placard...

So are they the same? just re-branded? any feedback on quality???? Ice

nobody ????
