    Anybody have an electric motor driven vacuum pump?

    hey i thought of some thing else, what oil do you use in these things? Mine has the jar on the side, with a wick to pull the oil up and into the pump. One thing i read said 10 or 20 weight high detergent. The tech told me 10w30 motor oil. What do you all use? My jar is getting low and it needs...

    Anybody have an electric motor driven vacuum pump?

    rescued a gast model 040 oil lubed rotary vane vacuum pump. Not sure what i am going to do with it, but it is cool. It pulls down past 25 hg vacuum, so it is still in good shape. I first stuck a coke bottle on the end of my hose and it sucked it really flat really fast. Then i tried an old new...

    Puzzle: 12 GA., 40 Foot Grizzly Electrical Cord Reel

    I have wondered how you could do a higher amp retreactable cable and thought of this. You would have to mount a box on the ceiling, mount your heavy gauge cord to the box with a fitting designed to have the wire hanging from it. Then figure out your length and mount what ever end you want on it...

    Puzzle: 12 GA., 40 Foot Grizzly Electrical Cord Reel

    i dont think that short piece of 14 gauge will hamper you much. unless you want to run an air compressor or something else real heavy you will be fine. probably 40 feet of 12 has the same capacity as that short 14 gauge. 12g loses capacity over distance, so i would say at 40ft of 12g has the...

    Generic Craftsman air tools... no torque... is it my tools or the setup?

    i would also bet that coil hose is killing you. Hook that reel up with a 3/8 hose And the improvement will be a bunch. Hook it directly to the reel and find either the high flow quick couplers, or the 3/8 body couplers for the compressor end. and if you have a regulator ditch it for air tools. I...
