Thanks for the information, that's good to know. It did get hot enough that you can't really touch it but based on the information you've just shared and the previous post I guess it's probably working as designed.

Thanks, I'll just use it normally and keep an eye on it. Maybe I'm just being paranoid as the reviews on these Vevor electric motors are really mixed from what I read and a lot of people had issues with them failing quickly. And yes, I ran it for an hour with it open after putting oil into the...

Update on this thread; I ended up going a different route and bought an 80-gallon tank on FB marketplace, cleaned it out the best I could and mounted a new Chinese electric motor and Harbor Freight 2-stage pump to it. The pump is rated at 15 cfm at 90 psi so it should be great for my needs but...

The tools I plan to run off this setup in the immediate future are a DA sander and a straight-line air sander (8.5 CFM consumption, 90 PSI working pressure) which could be running continuously for quite a bit of time. As well as running an HTE paint gun for painting a car and I worry that...

Interesting points, thanks for sharing. My smaller compressor (rated at 155 psi) was very easy to turn down as suggested. It has a set cut-in/cut-out gap with a single screw so I just turned it down to match the larger one for now. The larger compressor (60 gallon tank) has a continuous duty...

Thanks for the info, seems like it'll be quite easy to hook them up. Any difference in having one tank feed into the other and the outlet from there vs having both compressors coming to a T or something like Jswain suggested?

I'm planning to connect my two air compressors to increase my cfm and volume of compressed air to prepare for some painting and using other tools with a higher air requirements and was wondering about the most efficient way to do it. The two compressors I have are: 30-gallon, 1.6hp, 155 max...
