    80gal compressor project

    Hahaha. I wondered how long it would be before someone said something.

    80gal compressor project

    Thanks for all the positive comments! I forgot to mention that I re-inforced a standard 36" square pallet and mounted the compressor to it using hockey pucks as isolators and lag bolts. I tightened the bolts just enough that I can still spin the washers by hand. The pallet makes it easy for...

    An electrical question about compressors

    The aftercooler on my compressor is very similar to the Saylor Beall in the video. Mine is mounted on the pump side but I believe plenty of air flows through that area and it gets the cold air before the pump does. I get about 260* discharge temp at my output line right after the small cast...

    Truper Body Hammers

    Not what you are asking but I have had good luck with Majestic body hammers. Martin as well.

    80gal compressor project

    So, at this point I knew I had a functioning compressor that I suspected had ingested all kinds of garbage. I wanted to remove the head to check and clean it as well as check the cylinders for obvious damage. I also wanted to check and clean the valves assuming they had never been removed. I...

    An electrical question about compressors

    It really depends on your air needs. I personally like the aftercoolers. Yes, they drop the condensation right into your tank, but then it can be drained out. If you have an auto drain it drains out pretty darn easy in fact. It won't take care of all of your moisture in air issues but it...

    80gal compressor project

    Thanks Dreamer. That was one thing I was able to verify before I brought her home and no water inside. I'll update this thread later with what I did to fix the auto drain.

    80gal compressor project

    The next step was to clean the outside and check function. This thing was ridiculously dirty. It apparently hadn't been protected from the painting and spent it's early life living in it (and eating it but thats for later). I used a wire brush, scrapers, and a lot of air to get all of the old...

    80gal compressor project

    I recently moved into a larger home shop and have been looking to upgrade my air compressor. My old one is a 5hp, 2 stage Sanborn with a 20gal tank and has served me faithfully for about 25 years now. With the larger shop and air plumbed in it I have been over working this guy for a while now...

    Recommended Compressed Air Blow gun?

    I have had surprising luck with the cheap-o's from Home Depot. I bought 3 or 4 of them and put one next to each of my hose reels to use when needed in that section of shop. I did have 1 break when I dropped it but Home Depot replaced it without hassle at all. The others have been great with...

    Snap on now requires receipts to get warranty replacement

    I have had absolutely fantastic service from Snap-On.com. They have taken care of every warrantee claim I have had recently with no questions asked and shipped directly to my door. I use my tools privately now and don't have a regular dealer so I order what I need from the website as well as...

    Power washer: longer garden hose or power washer hose

    I always used the factory one that came with my washer until the pump died. I bought a new pressure washer and hooked the two hoses together and it's amazing not having to move the unit around as I wash the truck, boat, whatever. Why didn't I think of that before?:headscrat

    SC23 pump parts compatibility with CA1 parts?

    Checking to see if anyone knows if the parts available for the Coleman Sanborn SC23 compressor pump are compatible with the CAS CA1 pump? They are both offshore versions of the Salor Beall 705. Specifically asking because Master Tool Repair has a good selection of parts but they can't tell me...
