It's also against code to run low voltage electrical (Ethernet) & high voltage in the same conduit. Also as noted a electrical wiring causes interference in Ethernet when ran parallel to each other closely. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

Some people want that random factor... In your case it sounds like electronics in the VFD getting ready to **** the bed. A VFD converts AC to DC then back to AC again. The last AC stage is variable at frequencies & voltages you define in the VFD. If it can't output frequencies as defined...

Doh! Was trying to use the next code down, green5. Missed that one for some reason.

What's the code? The one on the first post isn't working.

I ended up just grabbing the $80 HF standby & a $10 moving dolly that should fit under it just about perfectly (cheaper to get the dolly that it is to just get 4 casters). Debating between psc1000 ($9/gal in a handy metal can at the the local TSC) & some 100% bio diesel ($3ish/gal these days I...

What would you guys recommend for a parts washer? I'd prefer less toxic water based cleaner, but am in Colorado & my shop isn't heated, not to mention solvent generally cleaning better without any rust issues. May just go water based & drain it often though. Would likely add in a water heater...

I picked up an old (tank is dated 1974 & the pump matches) Saylor Beall a while back & most of the way through disassembling it, cleaning it & blasting it. Sandblasting is going painfully slow as I'm stuck with a cobbled together 1.5hp conglomeration after the pulley motor on my 5hp came...

I have the same question... I thought mine was a clone as there was no name cast in it, but I finally got around to starting to dissasemble it for the rebuild. Found SAE hardware, not metric. No aftercooler, valves are machined with 3 slots not just a pile of drill holes. WA 40484 cast in the...

Well, while moving it, the compressor rolled up against the guard on my pallet forks. The 6" oil drain pipe snapped & there was a decent amount of oil that drained out. No Saylor Beall stamped on the crank case like I've seen in other photos, so probably a clone rather than the real thing. Oh...

At any rate the tank had a date stamp of '74 on it. Paint on the tank & pump match & look to be original. Didn't find a Saylor Beall on the pump, but the cast part numbers I saw matched Saylor Beall. When did the clones start getting made? Given the oil leaks, I'm pretty sure I'll be...

Well ****, I'm $500 poorer (and counting). At least one fitting on the tank was knocked off. As expected it's missing a capacitor on the motor. The black on the discharge line appears to be an oil residue not heat damage. It looks like it was leaking a bit of oil & I couldn't see any oil in...

Excellent, that's the kind of info I was hoping to get from the brain trust. If that is the pump you think it is (model number matches RabRods photos) it definitely sounds like it would be worth restoring. Lifetime pump after a rebuild, tank that hopefully lasts a few years & probably a new...

http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200350475_200350475 looks to be more or less the same as what I have now, some more PSI, but the same CFM. Is that type of system going to be the same big box quality or something along the lines of the Quincy reputation? The next bump after that is...

I have a CL search hitting on anything under $2k already, but hoping to find something under a grand. Most of those you linked have 3 phase motors, which will be several hundred to swap out for a single phase. I'm all for getting something in need of a refirb or some tinkering (one of my main...

Very familiar with our lack of oxygen up here & looking at a turbo on my next tractor to help compensate, but really hadn't though about it much in relation to an air compressor for some reason. I don't think I need "big air", although I'm on the higher end of hobbyist use. My relatively cheap...

lol, true.

I've got 3 wire (120/240v) 10 gauge ran to my compressor at the moment. Upgrading to 8 gauge would be annoying, but only take an hour, maybe 2 tops if I needed (plus the cost of wire, breaker & disconnect box). I've got a big desiccant filter on the output of my current tank that never sees any...

My current Kobalt 5hp (which I doubt is really 5hp) 60 gallon 14cfm @90psi compressor has barely been keeping up with some of my sandblasting. Recently the tank pinholed & I'm looking for a new tank for it. I got the compressor in a trade for a snowblower, so it has been used a fair bit & no...

There is direct bury rated Ethernet cable. It usually has a gel between the sheath & the wires to prevent water intrusion. Water can actually work its way into normal Ethernet cable. You want to use direct bury rated cable if you are burying it or even putting it in conduit to prevent the cable...

You are only looking at a few extra bucks to dump an additional conduit in that expensive trench. You can easily figure out if coax is worth it later & just pull it through the extra empty conduit. Or figure out that coax isn't worth your time & pull fiber or something. Conduit = cheap options...
