I have been reading about the differences between QT-54 and QT-5 and also QP-5. In several threads here, people talk about “QR” series being the real quincy compressors and everything else isnt the same. The thing is I cant find these QR series anywhere. When I go to aircompressorsdirect, the...

Hi forum, I am getting ready to purchase a compressor for our garage. I have been doing a lot of reading and I think it would have to be either Quincy or Champion. In fact, I had settled on QT-54 but then I started reading about splash lubricated vs pressure lubricated as well as pump RPM and...

I have been reading up on this and I am very confused about the correct way to run various types of cables/wires to a load center. To clarify: - This is a surface mount load center - It is mounted in an unfinished basement, in compliance with the NEC 6 ft rule. With that in mind, how do you...

This is all hypothetical. Goal is to make design decisions now in the right way to reduce “rework/throw away work” in the future. I currently have a 50amp interlock on a 200amp main (single) indoor panel. Meter is outside. So imagine meter -> 4/0 SER -> 200 amp panel indoors with 50 amp double...

I need opinions (ideally from people who have experience with this wire size). I am looking at two potential scenarios for a sub panel: - 45 ft - Indoors/open ceiling/unfinished basement - 3x 90 degree turns, 2x45 degree turns, some of these 90 degrees will be “pull boxes” so I wont come close...

I had had a company install a 50A interlock switch on a double pole breaker and run a cable to an outdoor 50A rated power inlet box 3 years ago. This was for me to utilize my 10kW portable generator. Fast forward to now and I just realized they used a 8-3 NM-B cable with #8 Cu CCC (2 hots and...

Hello forum, Ever since I first moved into this house several years ago, something bothered me about my main panel. There are two things I want to ask/find out: 1) As you can see both of my main lugs appear burned (the one on the right is worse). Should/can they be repaired/replaced? 2) You...

Hello forum, I am in the process of installing a 100A subpanel to my 200A main panel. Here is my plan followed by my questions: - The subpanel is to serve the following purposes: 20A breaker for grizzly table saw. 50A breaker for quincy 5HP compressor. 20A breaker for master blaster air dryer...

I have a bendpak hd-9 that I want to use to do 4 wheel alignment. I have three questions: - Is there way to install add on components to runways to convert this lift to an alignment lift? - If not, considering I have hd9, what are the best tools to perform alignments? - Are there any guides for...

I have a Bendpak HD9 that has been running fine for a year. It's currently plugged into to an outlet in my garage (20amp circuit). I want to run a brand new circuit with just 1 receptacle on it just for the lift as this other circuit shares the load with my garage door openers and some other...

I have had these two issues with my lift since day 1. I was wondering if this is normal or what it can be: 1) The locks are perfectly in sync until lock 9. Including lock 10 and all the way to the top they go out of sync. It gets worse as it goes up. 2) The lift runways shake/vibrate unless I...

This is a Husky 175 psi 30 gal compressor. When I drain the tank, there is always rusty water dripping. It has been doing this since day 1 (about 2 months old now). Initially I was assuming it will go away with time, but it hasn't changed. Will this have any impact on the tools I run? Should I...

I have an old house, from 1950s and both of my garages have this small "lip" to prevent rain water from getting in the garage. Its maybe 1/2" or 3/8" high and 3-4" wide and 7' long. You get the idea. Well that stuff is all cracked and pretty much destroyed and I want to redo it. I have never...

Besides the cost (seems like a $30 difference between 3/8" and 1/2"). All of my bits are 1/2" drive and that is why I am leaning towards 1/2".

These are the replacement cables I got from Bendpak for my HD9. They have this black dirt like stuff all over them (from tip to tip they are covered with this). I dont know whether this was done on purpose to lubricate or is it just dirt? Should I clean them or leave them be? The original cables...

Title says it. Which one is it?

I have an air filter/regulator/lubricator which I use for my lift and rolling jack. The first question is, the manual is very vague about how much lubrication to use. It says to use 1 turn (there is a dial) for each SCFM. It doesnt say how to calculate this. The second more interesting question...

Talk about my luck, its just not getting any better. Got my RJ45 yesterday, so happy. Installation went fine with literally no hiccups. After the install, I looked at the unit from the side and the main piece that goes up and down (the scissor part) is severely off level. What I mean by...

I have an Rj45 for my 4 post lift. Unfortunately one of my cars have a 64" inch from side to side whereas the jack has 59" or so. This particular car has no other accessible areas that I can lift from, no K member, no pinch welds or other body panels. Everything is covered with hard...

My lift has had severe paint damage during transport (maybe 30-40 places). I got some touch up paint from bendpak and did a dry run today and this stuff is not going to be easy to manage. The paint stays in the air way too long and literally flies off going god knows where. I need to paint a...
