Congrats! That should provide years of enjoyable and reliable service. Plus, you've got ~$500 left over for more tools! Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Depends entirely on how much torque you're putting on the fastener. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

I'd say get a tank and quick plumb it in with air hose to see if it helps your situation. Not much else for options... Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Would it be feasible to run a gasoline powered compressor outside your building, or a generator to feed a 240v motor? Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Most likely the pressure switch is adjustable. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Nice work. They look like baby moon hubcaps for a mini hot rod. (: Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Here's mine. It's a 1987 Ingersoll-Rand 242-5N. Its an 80 gal. receiver made by the Buckeye Boiler Co. The 240v Marathon motor says 5 h.p., 25 FLA. I just picked it up about a month ago. It was listed on Craigslist, and I saw it less than an hour after it was posted. Perfect scenario, it was at...

One issue with these old Emerson built Craftsman saws is that the lip around the perimeter of the hole for the insert is only down from the table top about a 1/4". Delta, Powermatic, Jet, etc. have a deeper lip, which allows for a thicker plate. However, like WWheeler says, I've used all kinds...

I ended up using a 12" hydraulic hose instead of a rigid pipe between the street elbow and valve because it's what I had laying around. I intended to use it temporarily and replace with a rigid pipe ******, because that's what I've done on previous compressors. But the hydraulic hose is stiff...

If you have a router and a flush trim bit with a bearing, you can make your own. Use your factory steel insert for a pattern and double sided tape to hold it to your plywood or MDF blank. Google 'homemade zero clearance insert' for more info. Once you make one, you may very well make several for...

It's ironic that both of those brand names were resurrected from defunct tool makers. But, the DeWalt name was brought back by Black & Decker for their professional line of power tools back in the 1990's, and is regarded as one of the higher end brands of power tools. I am a big fan of my DeWalt...

Make sure you verify the diameter of the outlet pipe before you order. The version I linked to is 1", which is common for your size compressor, but definitely check. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

If it were me I'd just get an entire new Solberg assembly. It looks like the backing plate you still have was made by them anyway. Less than $25 including the filter. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H43L82U/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

The "X" is more than likely where a tacked hub would be at that point if it was in dirt and not concrete. I'd guess most of the 3' offsets each direction of this one are in dirt, with a hub. He could have changed the offset to miss the concrete in that one location I suppose and driven a hub at...

Could you install steel steps on the exterior of the building? Starting on the left side of the building in the photo with the red doors, up the side of the building to a landing. You'd then have to cut in a walk door on the second floor. If that is doable you could avoid all of the issues...

This stuff works great too, and smells better than WD-40. I've tried all kinds of different citrus based cleaners; from my experience this stuff is different and better than the rest. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Here's mine. It was in the shop on the acreage I bought a year ago. It has 4"x4" legs and is stout. The top was three 2"x10" 's laying down. I just added a layer of 3/4" partical board (because it was free), then 1/4" hardboard to 14.5' of it, and a 5' section with a 10 ga. steel plate. I like...

If you want the two sides to be identical, first make a full size template out of 1/2" MDF. It's easier to sand and shape and get "perfect". You can then reproduce identical copies in plywood with a pattern cutting bit and a router. Keep the template safe and you can build more in the future...

1) No. The 50 footer is physically larger, including the diameter of the reel itself. No way 50' of hose can be coiled up on the 25' reel. 2) Yes. The cheap hose they come with has standard 3/8" fittings, and is nothing other than a cheap, regular air hose. I put a 50' Goodyear hose on mine and...
