Wow that is a great space. That size is not the norm for Switzerland. I lived there for two years traveling by public transit. I spent a lot of time walking and peering into people's garages. Most people in the USA, Switzerland and most likely the rest of the world don't care about the...

That might be too big. I have a 1955 Quincy 325 that I have turned up to about 18 cfm. It is for my hobby garage, but I do a lot of painting and auto body work. Here is the problem. I have a 100 gallon tank. There are numerous times I feel that is too big. If I need to run an air tool for...

Welcome to the board. I am very jealous that you still have Alfas over there. My first vehicle was a 1979 Alfa Romeo Spider. It is the car that I learned to wrench on. Oh how I miss that car. I learned a lot from it.

I forgot to mention that the plan is to hardwire the motor.

The motor that I have is rated at 5 hp according to Baldor's website. So what I'm hearing is that I need to have the breaker only switched out to 30A. Is that right or should he have used larger wire too? I haven't paid the guy yet. Since, I kinda know the guy from work, he said that we...

First time posting, very long time lurker. So the electrician came to my house today to do some garage wiring. Based on what I have read here, I'm wondering if he did things correctly. I had him add more outlets in the garage and wire a 50a out for my welder and run wire for my compressor...
