    Moving out of state - what to do with tools?

    Check out Abf u pack. They drop a trailer off at your house for 3 days while you load it then pick it up and take it to your new place and let you have 3 days to unload it. That's how I am going to be moving here in a few months. 1400 miles and an entire 28' semi trailer for around $3000 with...

    let's see your craftsman block grinders

    Thanks for the replies guys. The stand seems pretty sturdy so I think I'll keep it for now. I tell ya this 1hp doesn't even bog down when grinding pretty hard. Absolute world of difference over the cheap "3/4hp" harbor freight it is replacing.

    let's see your craftsman block grinders

    Picked this up today from pawn shop. Seems to be in really good shape. Original wheels, everything stock and nice. Even has the tag on the cord telling what plug to use for 220. Does anyone know if the stand is one for this grinder or just a universal stand?

    Let’s talk flashlights.

    I have a Coleman ct50 flashlight and it has been an excellent flashlight. Been dropped numerous times and never had an issue. Takes 6aa batteries and the battery life is excellent. Has high and low mode. Check it out I don't think you would be unhappy.

    Quiet Air Compressor

    I have that 575 rpm champion listed and it is nice and quiet. Plenty of air but also plenty of money as well.

    Adding an electric fan to an air compressor question.

    OK just got to read your comments. I am the one who actually installed a power wire and a ground on the starter (the red and black small wires) they go to an hour meter I installed. Is this not ok? I am going to open the pressure switch up and check on those two terminals that I am hearing...

    Adding an electric fan to an air compressor question.

    I agree that an electrician will be the best idea if I feel that this is way over my head. I just wanted to ask and see how involved any of this is. I don't have any particular fan picked out just yet. At first I figured it would have to be a 220 volt but now there is 12 volt and 120 volt that...

    Adding an electric fan to an air compressor question.

    I appreciate all the replies. I don't really want to have it on a temp sensor just because this fan would be to cool the aftercooler more than a fan for the compressor pump itself. That's why I was wanting it to run while the compressor is running. Not against having it run for a min or two...

    OK. I'm going to get a pic of the inside of the starter and let you guys take a look.

    Adding an electric fan to an air compressor question.

    I actually do not have the fan yet. I figured it would have to be 220v since the compressor is. The only reason I really wanted it running while the compressor is was so that it would blow air across the aftercooler and reduce temps even more than the pump pulley fan does. Heck maybe I'll just...

    Adding an electric fan to an air compressor question.

    Oh and forgot. The compressor and fan would both be 220 volts.

    Adding an electric fan to an air compressor question.

    Well the reason I was wanting it is hot climate (100-110 degrees here in summer) and was to actually be mounted on the outside of the aftercooler I installed. Plus I love little projects like this. :thumbup: I was thinking of adding it to the starter wiring I just wanted to be sure because I...

    Adding an electric fan to an air compressor question.

    Hello. Long time lurker here with a question I can't seem to find any info on. I have a Champion 80 gallon 7.5 hp compressor and I would like to add an electric fan to it to help with cooling. My question is can I hook it up to the magnetic starter somehow so that it comes on with the...

    Compressor aftercooler hose compatibility question

    I went to my local Hydraulic hose place and had them make me some custom steel braided Hydraulic hoses. Rated to like 400 degrees or so. Been on there for a few months. Hope they last a while. Cost about $60 I think.
