    My best CL score ever... Quincy Compressor

    I talked to my local Quincy dealer, and according to the book they emailed me it is a 2000 model QT-7.5 AirMaster(not related to the current airmaster series). Although the book says it is pressure lubricated, I know it's not. I scoped the tank today, no rust in the bottom half but saw surface...

    HELP needed with Compressor Setup

    1) Is my current setup with the filter straight out of the tank stopping the oil from getting into my current hose? No, that filter is a coelescing filter and will only seperate aerosols or liquid water and oil. Oil and water vapors will pass through that filter. 2) Is my hose at this point...

    I wish I could use 3 phase, but Im all set up for 240 single phase(actually 266 volts). I can get electric motors at cost so hopefully the 7.5 won't be to much. After thinking about it overnight I am leaning towards a total rebuild then fresh paint and decals. I had to make several stops on my...

    Compressor manifold question

    That would be the unloader line, it is to relieve pressure between the tank and the pump when the compressor cycles off so that the pump and motor do not start under a load. You want to make sure and hook it back up so that it works properly, there will be a small amount of air escaping when the...

    Air line filters-- difference between 'separating' and 'coalescing'?

    A compressed air water/oil seperator removes the water/oil form the air stream. A coalescing filter is a seperator. A coalescing filters main function is to remove water and oil aerosols by coalescing the aerosols into droplets. This happens partially because of torturous path and pressure...

    Do you own a HAND impact driver

    I have not found another tool, electric or otherwise, that will do the job a hand impact driver will. Indespensible when needed, mostly forgotten when not... I have two Lisle sets purchased, both from the early 80's, the tools themselves are great but the bits cant take much abuse. I will...
