    HF Blast Cabinet lighting upgrade..

    If I recall correctly, I used the 10 watt LED lights. I think 20s might have been better. I put two in the back corners, but I may add another pair in front. The lights don't require a separate transformer. I mistakenly linked to the 12V DC version, but they do come in 120V AC version too. The...

    I need a new compressor or pump.

    Actually, looking at the manual at the Northerntool site, it will run with a real 5HP motor at a lower RPM... ... but that's not a real 5HP motor.

    Kershaw knives on woot $23-40

    I snagged a Blur this morning. I was in the REI in Madison last night, and they had other assisted-openers for sale - they don't fit the definition of switchblade.

    Whadizzit ?

    Looking at page 7 of this brochure, the ES-50 is about 23.3" wide, so I'd say that's it.

    Whadizzit ?

    Fu Sheng owns Curtis now, if I recall correctly. That design characteristics of that pump look very similar to the Curtis ES-20 pump in this thread. It looks like it is a Fu Sheng/Curtis pump of some kind, maybe and ES-30 or ES-50. Here's a Curtis pump manual with exploded diagrams. You may be...

    Quincy QR-25 / 390 repair/rebuild

    I'm in the process of rebuilding a 325 that had almost identical damage - the top of the piston is dinged but no scrapes or gouges on the cylinder walls. With mine, the damage was caused by one of the valve discs breaking, so you may want to double check the valves.

    Air tool hanger notch sizes?

    I've got the Pit Posse version. The slots are about .333" wide and hold regular couplers fine. The Milton V ones don't fit.

    Kellog Compair Air Compressor

    I just did this recently, though on a smaller scale. I picked up a Curtis pump with intake unloaders off of CL and a Harbor Freight Predator 212cc engine. I got an unloader pilot valve and a throttle control like Fixnair mentioned. For the sheave for the engine, I selected the size based on...

    Thanks, I picked one up last week too. I also picked up the cast iron base for it from Amazon. It makes it pretty stable and yet remains portable.

    Air and Water Hose Mounting Plan

    My garage is about 25'x25' too. I mounted my air hose reel between the garage door tracks, on the ceiling about 6 feet in. There's plenty of hose to reach inside, and more length available for outside. I bolted it to a piece of 2x12 toe-nailed between the joists, but if I were doing it again...
