True. I have a 2 hp old speedaire on 120v, that can be wired for 240 and I have checked it's amp draw at the panel with an amp clamp, and while running it draws between 13-15 amps, but at start up it spikes to 50a.

You might see if you can find a used 15hp -20hp vfd on ebay. May be less expensive than a good motor.

Heres the thread. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=8605860

I believe there was recently a thread about the menards version of the daytona style jack being built with better internals (U-cup seal on the main ram). Its about the same price. Still heavy. Probably best bang/buck...

You want the facing on the habitable side. You should used all unfaced at this point. It is a vapor barrier issue, but if you have to I wouldn't eoryy about it.

I stand corrected, perhaps I did not look deeply enough, but as stated, seems like a well cared for place.

Looks like a fairly modern and very clean facility to me. You shouldn't need new equipment every 5 years if you are buying good equipment. In fact i would expect to get at least 20 years out of any industrial equip with decent maintenence. If not indefinate service with periodic overhauls. You...

The fan will not change the humidity, but it will bring the condensing object up to room temperature more quickly, maybe the same amount of condensation over a shorter time. Then the object can dry, assuming that the air temp is not at dewpoint.

Have you ever seen the DeWalt right angle adapters? With a short bit, they are about as compact as you can get

Are you kidding? I mean really? Everything craftsman is garbage, tekton garbage too? The world might need to come up with some better tos for you bro, because guess what I have and use cman, tekton, snappy and many more, and guess what in the real world if you can't get the job done with a mid...

Buy the crescent wrench one. Rust really doesn't matter, just lube the screw, the better ones can be disassembled. Im not sure if there is a pliers wrench that goes up to 2" my 12" goes up to 1-3/4", if they do make a bigger one I'm sure it is $75+

Mobil rarus 427 is pretty much clear as water. ND30 from Walmart is the typical caramel yellow of motor oil. Also you will probably be better off with 20w for intermittent use. FYI rarus 427 is 30w/ iso100.

The DeWalt rotary is what I would recommend.

I say go with a rotary buffer. They are not that hard to learn how to use, I learned how to use a rotary non variable speed black and Decker from the 70's that probably weighed 15-20#s when I was 16. Did I burn some edges on things that had been clearcoated the day before...yes. But with modern...

Ok, thanks everyone for talking me out of that one. FYI i am now in the Northwest Indiana Area so pickings are a bit thinner unless i want to drive to chicago. Onto another one. I think that this may be a better option. But would require new Single phase motors. I could honestly use one pump...

Thanks for the tip about the tank. I think i may go look at it. I have attached some pics. Thank you.

Checking in with the brain trust here. Any opinions on value on this compressor It has a 5hp baldor motor, 80 gal tank and as stated in the description a Wayne/dresser/Le roi pump. Guy will not say if we can test or not. Seems like it has been outside some. From picture looks like he has it...

Is it just me or did the price on these go way up, I just checked last night and they were like 200+ for a set and IIRC they were 120ish/ set when they were introduced ...
