    Clueless about Baldors...fair price?

    Looks to be a little high to me! I only paid $75 more for my big Baldor grinder, and $80 more for the buffer, and I got over 2k in buffs and even a few $$$ grinding wheels with the buffer. William...

    Compressor after cooler

    The 16" size minus the "tank"ends or about 11" tall would be just the right size for your flywheel fan. You might want to mount it tilted slightly ( like mine is) as you want the water to drain out. They also put the ports on it in the correct orientation to help out with this William....

    Compressor after cooler

    Here is one from Granger, it's only a bit more money than the oil coolers above and is an after cooler made for an air compressor. If you search for the part number you can also get it from drill spot for about $8 cheaper Air-Cooled-Aftercooler-4UJG3 William....

    Compressor after cooler

    YES the after cooler is the best way to remove "most" of the water. here is a clip from another thread: 2. Condense it and then remove the liquid water. The condensation method is the most commonly used. For it to work you need to lower the dew point and that means cooling the air! The...

    Compressor after cooler

    As you seem to have discovered your compressor dosn't have an after cooler. As for the leaking intercooler piping, there should NOT be any oil inside the intercooler, so it's very unlikely it's leaking any out! If your getting enough oil into the intercooler to allow it to leak out your pump...

    Quincy help!

    When you pump up the tank and let it sit over night does it loose pressure? If not, it's not leaking on the high side exhaust valve. On these pumps there is no check valve on the discharge side and if your HS exhaust valve is leaking you will louse pressure in the tank as it bleeds off. I see...

    Quincy help!

    When I lapped my valves I went to 1500 and they looked great, and they work great too. Might want to lap them some more, but that will not fix your unloader problem. I picked up an extra (new in the box) unloader tower off e-bay to take parts off if I ever needed them and it wasn't very $$$...

    Cold Saw-2"x3" Rectangle Tubing

    I would love to have one for under 1k used. Most I see ( and I have been looking for a few years are more like 2k or beat to ****. If you have a line on a nice 350cp low speed ( 480V ) machine please let me know! BTW these are all 2 speed, 3 phase machines and are not dual voltage and will...

    New IR compresser time for new Dryer/filter and regulator

    That filter/regulator will work fine but as mentioned above it will not remove the water. I only know of 2 ways to remove water vapor from the air. 1. Remove it chemically via a desiccant 2. Condense it and then remove the liquid water. The condensation method is the most commonly used. For...

    Aqueous Parts Cleaner Fluid

    Well for me there is no comparison of the costs, the water based stuff it WAY cheaper! The 40 gallons of solvent in my solvent parts washer was $$$ ( $85 for 5 gal.) and it's evaporating away every day! The RPM-20 stuff I picked up was dirt cheap, so much so I almost stole it! Now I know that...

    Aqueous Parts Cleaner Fluid

    I'm running it in 2 of my machines I have a product called RPM-20 that cleans really well when heated. None of the stuff cuts well cold, heated it's probably better than any "non-nasty"solvent based stuff at room temp. Now if you have a vapor degreaser, I bet they really cut well. William....

    Fluke 189/289 questions..

    If they truly do cost more it's a matter of supply VS demand for the discontinued item. Some electronic equipment is used in large organizations and they "standardize" on a model/type and then tend to stick to it as long as they can ie. they train their workforce on that meter and stock repair...

    400 amp service vs. 600 amp service

    More likely even smaller! Around here here they use a 12 or 15kva can for a 200 amp service and know all too well that it's NEVER going to be overloaded! I would be really surprised to see more than a 75kva feed for that 600 amp service. BTW If you really did pull, say 300 amps continuous...

    Air tank paint help

    When I got my Quincy I used some of that purple power stuff from AutoZone, undiluted on it, and it not only took the grease and dirt off, but most of the paint too! I also like to use oven cleaner on non-aluminum parts. If it's warm enough outside (over 60F), it too cuts the grease and...

    3ph to single phase for Car hoist

    No power loss on the VFD and that model looks like it should work fine. I like VFD's and I'm currently running 7 of them, they just keep getting better and cheaper like a lot of electronic stuff does. William

    Pallet rack help

    Not my standards you need to meet it's yours! You did a great job up to that point, took your time and carefully cut off the bracket, squared the tube end etc. If you can't weld out of position on thin material, then don't. There was no reason to do it there, a few tacks and take the thing...
