Skip to the end for the short TLDR version. Early this year pre pandemic I put together my ideal compressor using an old R15 pump with a Baldor 5hp motor on a little 30 gallon tank. Its been fantastic up until about a week ago. And now it wont start. Found that the breaker was tripped. When...

So after months of looking for what I wanted & then blowing the hell out of my budget I finally have my Little Big Compressor complete & as I was warned about it cycles way too often for my liking with an Champion R15A on a 30 gallon receiver tank. From cut in to cut out (140-175psi) it takes...

Couldn't find a compressor that would do what I wanted & fit in the little space I wanted it without spending way more then my budget... So I am piecing it together myself.. Receiver: Started with a Gardner Denver 30bvacc10 for 250.. stripped it down & sold the little pump & 3 phase 1hp Baldor...

This might end up kinda long to please bear with me. I am putting together a new to me compressor piece by piece. I have a small space to put it in & I want it to look good on top of being functional. I have a 30 gallon horizontal receiver/tank & a Champion R15A pump. The receiver was...

Short Version: Is the RPM to CFM ratio the same on the 2 versions of the R15? Long Version: I am putting together a compressor for my little garage & in the space that I want it in, a horizontal 30 gallon is what I need. But I also have a blast cabinet & DA sanders so I need lots of air as...

I am looking for a 30 gallon receiver to downsize from a 60 & this is about an hour & a half from me. I cant figure out what the pump is to see if its worth a **** or not. I would be converting it to electric & sticking it under a shelf in my little garage. Receiver is a 1987 is that helps to...

I have a nice looking old tank that had about 30 gallons of rusty water sitting in the bottom of it when I opened it up. Bought fittings to seal it up & connect a pressure washer to it today, except that when I got home with the stuff the check valve ended up being a 1" instead of 1 1/4" so I...

I have been battling with a leaky air compressor. There is one place that I cant get to seal up. its the aluminum manifold where it screws into the cast steel/iron tank. This was not leaking when I got the compressor, a couple years ago but had recently started leaking along with several brass...

This is for sale cheap locally, but I cant find specs on it.

So I have a couple of old Vice's & for no reason other then "I wanted it" I bought a Wilton 1750. Paid probably way too much for it on eBay, but I have it now just the same. It came with a complete coverage paint job in red & below the red instead of finding some of the hammered green color...

So I just picked up a new to me box & some of the liners are pretty thrashed. Looking at just replacing all of the liners now before I put my stuff in it, but I cant find much in the way of heavy duty liners big enough. Or that arent super expensive. Most of the drawers are about 18.5x30" and...

Long story short I have been for months trying to decide on which compressor to buy. Originally I wanted one of the 20 gallon vertical ones but have since decided to go to something big enough that upgrading again isnt in the cards as long as I live in the same house with the same small 2 car...

So as I am new here be gentle please... Basically I am lining my garage with shelves & leaving cutouts for the larger items (deep freeze & compressor). My garage is a fairly small 2 car garage & in the 7 years since I built the house I had so much **** in there I had a hard time parking my...
