Are you running it as pictured with no tubing to the unloaders? If so, that's the place to start.

Many of you have amazing setups. I assume some have installed alarms? I have a 20' cargo trailer and an upcoming project where I'd like to have some additional security. I'll be making two cross-county trips with a load of tools, staying in hotels. I'll add physical barriers, but an alarm would...

I'm not near my shop now, but I think this is the one I've been using: Freud D0436X Diablo 4-3/8-Inch 36 Tooth ATB Cordless Trim Saw Blade with 20-Millimeter Arbor and 3/8-Inch Reducer Bushing https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002TUFAO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Not...

Thank you for your response! Some great recommendations. This is my second "real" shop, and certainly my last. I can't wait to get moved in and set up. My stuff has been in storage for over a year, and I miss it! Any other suggestion, please chime in. Thanks again! Paul

Sorry, I should have included the dimensions. The area with 16' ceilings is 28' x 48'. It's wired with two rows of lights 14' apart, and each box in the row is 12' apart. The 10' ceiling area is 24' x 44'. It is set up with two rows 12' apart and there is 11' between each box (eight total in...

I'm ready to order lights for a new build. I've had one of the online companies do some layouts, and I've messed around with the software as well. I believe I need eight high bays lights that produce around 22,000 lumens each for a 16' ceiling area, and eight for the 10' ceiling area that...

We've recently moved to Arizona (near Phoenix), and I'm building a new shop. Part of it is designed to accommodate RV parking. The 14' x 14' sectional overhead door for this bay will be very visible from our house, so it needs to be an attractive door. It also faces west, and is fully exposed to...

I'm interested. Earlier today I was looking at a small Norseman left hand set. A quality set for extracting broken fasteners would be nice. Would such a set also be an option?

It looks like it might be bigger than a 325. Google images of a 370 and see if it is similar. You could also check Quincy literature or a site like Mesa for dimensions: http://www.mesaequipment.com/Html/Products/Quincy/qr25_basic.html In any case, it's a great compressor!

Still not a bad deal. I bought one directly from Amazon about 18 months ago for $280. The desirable features on this particular model are that it is oil lubed and runs at only 1720 RPM (quieter and better longevity). I'm very pleased with mine. I did upgrade to overnight shipping to minimize...

I have no academic background in this area, so I’m sure some of this is totally wrong…but as I understand it (ideal gas law), if volume is fixed, pressure is directly related to absolute temperature. Since you’re in Minnesota, I assume you’re saying the temperature dropped five degrees...

I've been looking for one also. A nice used Kennedy would be great, but no luck on Craigslist yet. So far, I like this Excel for about $130 from Amazon...

Does anyone know who actually makes these? Charles is correct; I've seen identical wrenches under several brand names. I have an old set (probably military surplus) that is simply marked with a stylized "S". For many uses they are great, but I do revert to the traditional non-ratcheting ones for...

Lump, I’m not an engineer, so this explanation will be seriously flawed technically, but…what the heck…you know about car engines, right? Like a car engine, an air compressor has a compression ratio. On a single stage compressor (even one with multiple cylinders), the air is compressed only...

I'm getting ready to install some 3/4" oak. I looked at many nailers, and bought this one for $119 on special from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002EVPO54 I'll try it in about a week, so no experience yet, but it looks very good and has great reviews. Good luck!

Two more SK clearance items at Sears: SK G-Pro XXL 2-piece Metric Topper Set $29.97 http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00942382000P SK 8 pc. Impact Socket Set, SAE 3/8 in. Drive 6 pt. Swivel $79.97 http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00919486000P

930 is correct; a VFD capable of supporting 10HP would be very costly. And personally, I don’t think the rotary converter makes much sense for an air compressor. If we were talking a 2HP Bridgeport or a cool Monarch lathe, either a VFD or rotary converter might have a place. Here, you are...

You may not be happy running a 10 horsepower single phase motor. Single phase motors that large are relatively uncommon, and if you find one it will be expensive and draw about 45 amps or so. But yes, with the same motor horsepower and (this is important) motor RPM, you could reuse the same...

Wiha 15 Piece Combination Wrench Set $84.39 (Amazon) Pretty decent price: Wiha 40087 Metric Roll Up Combination Wrench Set, 15 Piece $84.39 & this item ships for FREE with Super Saver Shipping...

Some details here: http://www.aircompeq.com/ka.htm Nice size for a home shop. At 24 amps (per the listing), I would assume that it is equipped with a single phase motor. Parts are still available. Easily worth $200 or so to me, although I favor the pressure-lubed Quincy models.
