Hi Guys, I just replaced my helmet suspension with this new one, it's super comfy but I can't figure out how to tighten the drop down tension on this new suspension. My old suspension you just tightened the outside nuts and it would make it hold up/open firmer, this new one won't stay up and...

Are you using a quick connect off of your old regulator? Maybe your quick connect is getting jammed shut.

Ditto on side cutters.

You don't NEED a breaker in a sub-panel, in Canada anyway. But it sure is handy if you ever want to do any work in the garage panel. You don't have to go to the panel in the house to shut off thepower to the panel. Breakers aren't as pricey as they were for a while either. A 60A breaker is only...

I built a 24x31' (Zoning) garage with 60A service, about 150' from our house. It cost me about $35k. The slab had to be engineered, which I did myself, but was a thickened, rebarred slab. I had a guy do it for me cost about $10k. I did everything else myself. I bought a 10' 2x4" walled garage...

I just ordered the KRA4813DPCM. I wanted something I can wheel around my garage or out into the driveway. I'm going to setup my hand tools in it (sockets, ratchets, wrenches and maybe screwdrivers) I don't have a good place in my big boxes for the sockets and ratchets to be nicely organized...

At our old place I had plumbed in a zig zag of copper tubing for the purpose but I didn't have anywhere near 100'. More like 10'.

Hi All, I am wondering what others have done to setup their compressors in a shop. I want to put a dessicant or coalescing filter on mine but I was told at the parts store that the Norgrens are recommended to have up to 100' of line leading into the filter, I assume to cool the air and...

Electrodude, Think about testing that tank before you pump it up to 100psi with air. The way I have tested old tanks is to fill it up with water, then attach an enerpac and pump it up. It should hold to 150% of the rated pressure. Better to fail it with a non-compressible fluid, way less...

I'm not interested in much more than 90-100psi so I shouldn't need 3hp. Wow, how big would a 3hp 110V motor have to be?

A little quick & dirty math would suggest: (1.5")^2*pi*2"*2*700rpm=19,700cubic inches per minute, assuming perfect compression and ignoring temperature change, that is about 11cfm. That would work nicely for a portable. The motor I have is 220V 1.5hp. Is 1.5hp the right size? I should look into...

Looks like the Waterloo I have just started working on.

Did you have any trouble getting it apart and back together? I did a 2 stage Brunner and ended up breaking a ring. I was able to find new ones but it was a hassle. How many CFM do you get? Do you remember the bore and stroke of the cylinders?

Crankcase looks identical, even the casting of the feet is the same, just a different colour. I would guess yours is a bit older vintage, since the head and cylinder design is a bit simpler on yours. Mine is that metallic green that makes me figure 60s.

Hi, I found a good deal on a used toolbox full of automotive tools. It was looking pretty rough with cruddy stickers on it, emblems gone, dirty, etc. So I am taking it all apart, cleaning it up and repainting it. I have to use spray bombs since we are renting right now and we don't have all...

Sorry, I need to resize them, too big.

Hi Everyone, I bought an old Frankenstein compressor a couple of months ago. The guy had it mounted on an old water tank or something like that. Anyway the pump looks quite old (50s or 60s) but it doesn't have much in the way of markings on it. The guy had it hooked up to a 1725 rpm 1.5hp...

Was it kept wet during the first 7 days? That looks like it dried out too fast.

This question would be much better answered over at welding web: http://weldingweb.com/ There have been many discussions about this topic there. As I remember one of the two TB vs BC is a better welder and not such a good genny and vice versa, just can't remember which. If you plan on moving...
