    Connecting air tools at full pressure

    Hi all, Sorry if this has been discussed before. I did try searching, but couldn't find anything and tried different wording for what I'm asking in my searches. Looking for what others have done to make it easier to connect air tools when the pressure is at 90 PSI (where I have it regulated...

    Baldor General Purpose vs Farm Duty Motors

    I am looking to replace the motor on my General 490 drill press. The two Baldor motors I'm considering is the L3507 and the FDL3507. First is their General Purpose line, the other is Farm Duty. Specs are very similar - 3/4hp, 1800rpm, TEFC, 1.25 SF. One of the main differences seems to be...

    Milton Regulator not releasing pressure

    I have a Milton filter and 1/2" npt regulator near the compressor and from there the lines are plumbed to the rest of the shop. At the end of one of the drops I have another filter and regulator (same ones as by the Compressor) When I drain the tank and lines, the regulator at the end...

    Baldor Grinder 712 long time to stop

    I picked up a Baldor 712 (1/2 hp 7" wheel) grinder today. Seems to run smooth, bearings aren't noisy. My question is, do Baldor grinders normally take a very long time to wind down and come to a stop? Mine took 2 mins and 35 seconds. That seems very long to me. Maybe it's a good sign, that...

    Air Compressor piping 3/4" down to 1/2" at filter/regulator

    Hi All, I'm working on the piping of my air compressor in the shop. Compressor is rated for 18SCFM, and has a 3/4" outlet from the compressor, then goes into a 3/4" copper water-separator manifold. Then into the filter and regulator (planning to use separate rather than combined). Then...

    Quincy QT-54 vs DV Systems IS5-5580 (Standard Duty)

    Lurking for a while, first time posting. Glad to be part of a great forum. I'm considering between these two compressors for a home shop for different uses, and looking for opinions. These are within my budget, and are within $100 of each other. I can't splurge for the best of the best like...
