well, i finally got my new compressor up and running. aside from the meter base being bad, the previous hacks had also only run 100amp cable from the pole instead of 200amp like my shop is supposed to have. i had them run 200amp this time. here's one i just snapped this morning, the shop was...

yeah, thats what i thought too. he wired it the traditional way to help me get it running, and then we realized that my electrical service had a big problem. my shop is an old amoco gas/service station and its been through quite a few hands that never maintained the place properly. i'll have...

the original pictures are from when it was factory wired. the guy who came to help me out wired it differently. he said the original configuration is how they wire single phase for overload protection or something. its not running yet, gotta find somebody to install a new meter base for me so...

thanks for all the advice, guys. my compressor guy/electrician showed up today and it turns out that i have a bad meter base for my shop. i was getting 120 from each leg, but not 240 when you check between both. the electric company came out and pulled the meter and the one lug for the wire...

do you think it could be a bad coil? t2 has a wire that connects back to L3 at the top. looks weird to me, but thats what the diagram shows as well.

i tried to get a reading across the two, but it still only read 123. t1 and t2 show nothing at all. 96 shows 123 because its run through the low oil switch which gets power from L2.

by not coming out, i guess i mean that power is going into L1 and L2, but not coming out down at t1 and t3 to feed the motor. im going to try and find an electrician tomorrow who knows about compressors. i'm getting frustrated and don't know much about electrical other than very basic house...

can anyone tell me why power would be going into the magnetic starter, but not coming out where it feeds the motor? i have power at my pressure switch as well. this thing has a low oil shut down switch too, can these be faulty?

i'm a dynabrade fan myself. i have a couple cheapies too, but i swear by the .5hp 7 degree offset dynabrades.

thanks, its a 7.5hp, 80 gallon. i didn't get it hooked up yet, i still have to make room for it and getting it moved into my tool/compressor room is gonna be a task in itself. as for the bus, i'm finished doing my part to it and it will be getting picked up this coming week. :thumbup:

this is the one i bought, hopefully the last one i'll ever need. i'm pretty excited to get it hooked up and running.

thanks. yea, its 240 single phase. i'm using 10 gauge and a double 30 amp breaker for my other compressor at the moment. this one calls for 35/36 amps i believe. the extra smaller wires go to the low oil shut off switch.

hi, wondering if somebody could give me a pointer on hooking up my new compressor. the mag starter on this one looks different from my old one, and i just want to be sure i hook it up properly. the starter is already run to the switch, so i just need to hook up the black and white wire from my...

still looking. thanks

i'm looking for the 3 drawer center section to go between my top and bottom kr series boxes. i will consider later models of the same dimension. thanks!

thanks guys. my blade seems sharp, i sheared a couple near full width pieces of 20ga. with no problems. i wouldn't use a hold down for most things i do, i was mainly curious if mine was missing the piece or if they are non-existent for these models. if they exist, i'd like to track one down...

thanks! this was sitting in a small local fab shop and the guy offered it to me last year for a decent price. i figured i better get it before somebody else did and just picked it up 2 nights ago. does yours have the hold down on it or did these 30" models not come with one?

thanks for the info. i can take some more pictures of the gauges if you want, pm me with the specifics you would like.

i've searched around here a bit and found a few mentions of these types of shears and wanted to know if anybody could help me determine when this was made. i bought it to use, but its a neat old piece and i'm just curious to know more about it. i found 21286 stamped into it in 3 different...

looking specifically for .023 tips for MT-200 torch, but will buy all other related parts as they are getting hard to find. thanks!
