IR Compressors

[NWOhioChevyGuy]

We use WEG motors as our standard pump motor where I work, they are very good motors.

WEG is based out of Brazil

Just found that one again in a TP tools ad I get in the mail. More info this time, -

Maybe they have it online ?? Yep, it's online as well,-

http://www.tptools.com/Quincy-5HP-2-Stage-60-Gal-Air-Compressor,8112.html?b=s*compressors

15.2 cfm @175 psi.
5 horse 22 amp motor

Oh and this time the ad says 50,000 hour pump life.

It doesn't beat the $1000 IR compressor, but it's alright.

It does not beat the $1000 IR compressor why? What IR $1000 compressor are you comparing the quincy too?

This one here, -

http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/ingersoll-randreg;-5hp-air-compressor-80-gal?cm_vc=-10005

Same one I gave detailed info on earlier. It went up a little in price.

NOTHING Chinese on this unit. At TSC, well the one here likes giving you 10% off of items like this as well. Good deal for the money IMO.

Always check to be sure you can stack discounts like that to avoid disappointment at the register.

Yea I didn't see those specs at Northern the first time around. They are there now! Yea, it was bugging me why they didn't have them. I guess I missed them first time around. Damn..I did check a few times; checked all the tabs for more info. Iduno, - maybe I didn't scroll down far enough? Anyway, that's good. If Nothern isn't far away I would check it out and possibly purchase if I liked what I seen. I'm curios which Motor they using, -what are the motor rpms and if it's a Baldor or whatnot. Pump speed is sort of on the high side so....Yea , just curious

I like them both! I'd still go with the IR though... More air (20 gal more) and better CFMs is always plus. Also it's set up to run 3/4" or 1/2". The Quincy might be as well, you'll have to check that out in person. Either one isn't a bad choice. I'd want to check that Quincy out in person first.

If I were to step up a notch. The Champions would be next in line ; price-wise anyway.

I don't know if it has been said, but another thing to look at is the rpm that the compressor runs. My IR runs in the 3000 rpm range and my Wayne and the quincy run like half the rpm and there is a big difference in how loud the compressor is. The slower rpm is quieter and seems to be less aggressive with it's starting and stopping, which I would assume would help with longevity. Sorry for not having exact rpm numbers.
