Hi guys, I'm swapping a Quincy 325 pump in place onto my Ingersoll tank which previously had a 2545E10, currently has a 7.5hp single phase 1750rpm motor. I already have 3hp and 5hp 1750rpm three phase motors I could use with a vfd, and would allow me to sell the 7.5hp 1ph motor (it's almost...

Just had a random thought as I scroll through the local classifieds past a free hot tub nearby. In essence it's a big fiberglass tub, with a pump, heater, and plumbed with nozzles throughout. Is this the recipe for a kickass parts washer or electrolysis tank? I wonder how the fiberglass...

Hello, Recently got electrical service in the barn, and I'm looking at addressing the lighting. Currently it's got GE high bay fixtures (dated 1996) with MH400/u bulbs. I'm concerned about the running costs, and also not a fan of the warmup / cycle restart time on them. Building is a...

Hey everyone, Been lurking here for a while, great knowledge base in here. I started a build thread in the general discussion section, hoping to get some tips as I turn this warehouse setup into a mechanic shop / man cave / blade shop. I'm sure nothing could possibly go wrong!

Hey guys, Long time lurker first time poster. I'm a car guy, been an aircraft and car mechanic for a long time. Now I write technical manuals for a jet engine company. You'd think I'd be able to figure out construction methods and concepts, but sadly I'm very inexperienced and could use some...
