I picked this up off craigslist. It's a col-met booth, can't remember the model number... in searching for a manual, it looks like a few of the big name booth companies make this same booth and put their name on it. I use it for powder coating, so it has dry powder filters in it currently. You...

My 7.5hp shows 39a on my clamp meter while running.

I think you may be blasting too aggressively with al-ox at 120psi, you'll end up with too rough of a surface profile and wont get a good finish. I'm usually around 60psi when blasting for profile. Put the smaller nozzle kit in from TP tools. They sell one that's meant for your smaller...

Well.. this isn’t simple or homemade, but I got it off craigslist as a 2 for 1 deal.

I realized it had been almost two years since I'd worked on this compressor... so i got it put back together this last week. The breather tube still needs repaired and refinished, but everything else is done. I fired it up last night, found one leak so far. Realized the belt tension is MUCH...

Yessir. Mine were both marked with the previous price. Actually bought one a few days before, told my dad about it, and he asked me to go get him one too. Rang up at 175. Grabbed my receipt out of the car and they refunded the difference on mine.

Bought 2 last week for 175ea.

Home Depot a town over from me has the sawzall + 9.0/charger clearanced for 175.. had the circular saw too, but had already sold out.

Is the dual 9.0 + charger for $199 @ HD a worthwhile purchase?

Ive got one of the older 72 kobalt ones that I purchased for work to use as something disposable. Stupid thing is still working. I had to open it up last year and grease it, as being used in the rain had taken a toll, but still works great. These kobalt ones fit in a certain spot on my...

Hey guys, I do this. The dual voltage Eastwood will be a good starter. If you want a step up, the redline ez50 would be a solid choice. For those tight areas, which we call faraday areas, you wanna use the lower voltage setting. The lower voltage will slow charge buildup which will cause...

$79 here

They make you pay shipping back to Eastwood on that return. It's VERY heavy, can't remember what I had to pay to return. Like $70 maybe.

YUP. I'm post 39. DONT DO IT. The hobart 140 is vastly superior, the build quality is the major key here. I dont think the hobart is any more capable, but good lord the quality control ***** on these things. I picked up a used 210 on craigslist and couldn't be any happier. Dont shy away...

Just whatever crappy paint gun regulator from HF will work fine. Trust me on this, it's not super important. Also, adding more weight on the bottom of that gun is just gonna make it miserable to move around and break even faster. Install a small water separator/regulator on the side of your...
