Hi all! as usual im trying to work with what I have - weld aluminum outside with stick rods on 110v. There is an old school miller thunderbolt 225 available but its 225/230v - is there a 110v AC welder I can try push a 3/32 alu rod with?

old thread but I was in HF today, picked up the ATV 2500 winch, it's about 1/3 to 1/4 of the weight of the 1300 lbs rated electric hoist. so I'm sure theres a difference in the construction. I never stand under a hoist, ever. I dont care who made the hoist.. both guys at my shop have been...

60XX rods - yes the 70** seem to strike/weld worse- maybe ill try it on a 220 and see- thanks chaps

These are the specs - Ive only arc welded with it but it works pretty well - I get nice beads when i use 3/16.. 1/8 takes a little more finesse and I cant run it too long - but it works ok.. if 220 will give it a bump in performance ill be happy-

Hey guys - I watched a video of a guy switching from a 220 to 110 on a predator generator here Would someone be willing to offer some assistance in doing the opposite? Installing a 2 pole breaker with a switch so I can run 220 (110 from each coil) on each of the 110 (assuming they each run...

Hi all - as many of you know I bought a 3 phase 120gal compressor and decided its too much for my needs so here it is up for grabs. Its in San Pedro, CA - pm me if interested. Runs perfect, currently wires for 208 3 phase - twin head.

ok thanks!

I could probably find a 220 5hp/7.5hp motor alone for $75 here. Guy i know has a room full of them - take offs.. ill be running htis probably off a 50a 2 pole breaker I have on the panel..

good info chaps. I live in California - i thought the pump had to be run on a matching size motor. My buddy rebuilds these motors he shd be able to help big time ito amps/motors etc.. Here is a pic of the starter - fy its currently wired for 208 3 phase - we tested it / runs perfect. so...

tx jack - what I meant was switching out the pump and motor (matched set) to a smaller setup, 5hp maybe - ill sell off the 15hp motor and pump in that case. If i get a buyer ill probably look for a 80 gallon ready to go..

Well we plugged it in yesterday and it ran perfectly - So in summary the 120 tank with a smaller motor/pump will give me alot more reserve but take longer to fill? The motor wont strain more just cos of the bigger tank will it? just the longer run time really?

Hi - thanks for the info - sorry for my question but what a magstarter & heater and what do they do, would my old one have these / can i buy generic stuff and do i need to size/spec match it to the replacement motor? Any pointers ito what i would want to look for? Maybe the guy can help me with...

Jut got off the phone toa shop with a bunch of used compressor parts. Guy says he has a complete motor and pump 5hp that will run on 220v for a very god price.. Maybe I can attach that on top of my tank and sell off the motor and pump on mine..

Hi - Im deciding to possibly keep it and convert it, we are a small boat repair shop in CA and I might be doing HVLP spraying - maybe this compressor CAN work - If i downsize the motor, should I just sell the old one? And where do the sheaves go? Im a engine/boat mechanic so not too dumb with...

thanks guys - i JUST did some reading on spraying and it seems spraying HVLP guns requires alot of air.. Since we have a boat repair shop its not wrong to say perhaps in the near future we might be doing pretty big spraying jobs.. Ill be reading thru all the suggestions - maybe the 5hp...

we are gonna test run it at my buddies shop 2moro and ill make a short film - yeah i think selling it at this point makes most sense. What size do u guys recommend? 60/80 gallon? I just do occasional sand blasting - no truck tires to fill here.. :lol_hitti

can u supply me with an example? no idea where to start / what price

Too add - yes dunce that I am learned I cant run it unless i change the motor out to single phase cos we have single @ the shop :/ soo not sure what to do. Re-sell (and buy a smaller single phase unit like 1 60 -80 gal) / convert motor on this one? All i do is sand blast boat parts, carbs and...

I bought this today for $200 from a moulding factory that upgraded theirs - $200 deer.. im pretty sure its way too much? it ended up being ALOT bigger than i thought in the pics Its a 120 speedaire thing thats the size of a alpha male reindeer - im a little afraid of it, not to mention my...
