    Help with air hose routing on this compressor?

    Hello all! I purchased this a few months ago in pieces. It didn't include air lines and I need help on finding out what order they go? The smaller (piston) area is at the top of the pic, which ***** in on the left port, and out on the right. The larger piston is below the intake. But when I spin...

    Hi again all. This is one of two fixed jaw Reed vises that I have been restoring. I don't have any better photos but there were two 3/8" chips out of the jaws. Special thanks to Kevin Scott who mailed me a bunch of different rods to try out to repair the chips. I brought the vises to a friend...

    CRS: Thanks, I'm with you, from the point I acquired that Tiger. I'm critical about the nut/way interface, and screw/nut interface (I had one that was stretched? ? ) lastly, the lambs tongue (dj support) can have cracks on certain vises. Glad you passed on it... <a...

    Drives: I didn't have Ritzblitz make any part other than the hold down. I took allot of measurements so as to allow more of a sliding surface for the dj to slide on, also, to mate both the rear part of the nut and the front part of the hold-down bar at even 45°, with very little/no daylight in...

    CRS: I apologize on the chiding you our anybody else. I now see my error. I suppose I was trying to give an excuse for an improper restoration before anybody else did. I've found that on some of these boards there can be someone who gets a thrill in pointing out improper techniques and the like...

    Drives, I can't imagine carrying a 4C anywhere! I think I dragged mine to a rolling cart in separate pieces and then off loaded them directly to the already awaiting corner of my bench. I'm still after a 3C if anybody wants to sell me one they can pm me with they're price and pics. I can't...

    Jrobb, my 2C arrived with the swivel bolt missing! EOC Jason sent me a cad drawing of his to copy and ritzblitz made me a new one. However, there was no issue with the static threads. You'd be best to ask someone on this board to mail you a tap to borrow, or at the very least grind off a slice...

    I agree with Outlaw as well, Robb. I've had a few voids on Athols in some undesirable places (once on the ball portion of the screw yoke. It's hard to see why that passed the "q"-check due to its location. But no matter, there's MUCH beef on that shelf of the static. If (ain't gonna happen)...

    General air compressor question....

    Ok, great, it seems I remember something about when increasing the air hose size I could expect a drop in pressure because of the increased volume, but it was hurting my brain to progress any farther without help.... Thank you, Tom

    General air compressor question....

    Hello all, I'm replacing the broken gauge on the regulator and the one I'm replacing it with is 1/2" npt instead of the 1/4" npt gauge that is oem. I'm hoping it's just a matter of a reducer, but can I still expect a correct reading using the reducer? Thanks, Tom
