I’ve had a ton of issue with start capacitors on air compressors. Try this one, it was a fit for 3 different air compressors I have. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P37JP28/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I talked to Sullivan Paletek. They said I for sure have a aftermarket and wrong motor on the compressor. They wanted $3300 for a replacement. That's not feasible since I have $4k already into this used compressor. So I am looking for a decent motor to replace...

My machine needs 3-15cfm, I think it’s more on the lower end. The Issue is it’s 3-5cfm constantly. Its a dumb design with Hurco to keep the linear rails clean. I asked if I can lower it or turn it off, the tech said no… I only hear the air blowing when everything is off after I completely power...

I built my custom house 2 years ago. We roughed in a bathroom on one side of the basement. We now want to add a MIL/FIL suite. So something that would of cost me $20 to rough is now turning into a major project! I need to cut out a trench that is about 6 feet from the main line going out the...

A Zoller might work but you would have to remove the wheel. If you dress the wheels on the machine you just need it to be flat to the work piece. Can you just do cuts on a sample piece of metal and take it to a surface plate? Or cmm? If it’s cnc you can make a program and just run it each time...
