Thanks for the info. I didn't realize the HF filters were a weird setup. I just ordered 2 of these from Amazon, as well as a few extra filters. A bit overkill, but I know they won't be restrictive, and I can swap them to another pump if needed. I've also got a T29S pump I need to rebuild...

I need a couple of new air filters for my compressor pump (67698). I've ordered them from Harbor Freight, but they're on backorder, so no idea when they'll show up. I just pulled this pump out of storage (and finished the reed/gasket replacement), so I don't have the old filters to use for...

Zombie thread, I know. Hey, at least I used the search! I'd like to remote my intake filter. Not for noise, but for air quality. My compressor is located in the same room as my plasma cutter, and the room gets filthy dirty. I'll usually blow out the filter once, then replace it. However...

Resurrecting a dead thread. I also have a B4900 that just died and needs rebuilt. It's on a Harbor Freight 60gal compressor. Looks like a rebuild kit is going to cost me ~$250. New pump would be about $550. Whole new compressor is $800. I've purchased the dual cylinder, 5hp $170 HF pump to...

Well, just over 2 years and it's dead. I started having errors on my plasma table which appear to be related to oil in the lines. Added an oil filter, and things got better. That went on for a couple months. Yesterday, while cutting, I noticed my compressor was running non-stop. Usually...

Ended up buying the Flexzilla reel from TSC for $79.99, on sale. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Northern Tool one ends up at $95 shipped, so price is essentially the same as the CH unit. I'll have my air compressor set at 150 psi anyway (maybe 125), so not sure that is an issue. It'll be ceiling mounted, so I don't really need the swivel option. How is the hose? I'm wondering how this...

Electric vs propane, and constant heat vs cycling is NOT helping? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Just to clarify, I know this is a band aid fix. My shop at the old house was fully insulated. I haven't built a shop at the new place, so I have to make due. At some point I'll pull all the drywall and install batting. That won't be happening until mid next year, at earliest. Right now...

From my reading, it seems Harbor Freight has quit carrying the Goodyear air hose. For home use, will this 50' Flexzilla reel, with Flexzilla hose, for $100 be a better value than the HF unit for $59 (with coupon)...

I'll be spraying the ways, for sure. Hard to get to the ballscrews and such, though. It's a 10k lb Hurco BMC-30. I'm wondering if I could even wall it up with blue foam, and keep a small heater in there. Space is awful tight between it and the plasma table. To make matters worse, the plasma...

Title sums it up. I was working on the copper air line for my plasma table tonight, when I noticed RUST spots forming on the ways of the mill. A quick glance at the gauge I keep in there...88% humidity. Garage is finished, drywalled, but uninsulated (on 3 of 4 walls, and ceiling). Approx...

Ok. I'm ready to assemble my air line run. I've got the HF air cooler, a Hayden 1290, and plan on having a large vertical grid of copper as well. All copper will be 3/4". Right now, I'm focusing on the route from the compressor, out through the cooling/water removal components (above), and...

I'm in central MO. I'm looking for a container for the desiccant, not the granules (those are easy to find). Each desiccant filter will be at line end, before tool outlet. I've got an after cooler, copper loop, and refrigerated dryer upstream.

Title sums it up. I'm looking for a large pellet-style desiccant filter (so I can dry/re-use/source desiccant inexpensively). Well, I'm actually looking for about 3 of them. Something like this would be ideal: http://www.princessauto.com/en/detail/air-dryer/A-p8055757e I hear it can be...
