Quincy 310 air compressor

[montero1dfw]

I have found a Quincy 310 air compressor that I am considering buying. It was used in a small upholstery shop and the owner is retiring. The tank is a 60 gallon vertical and the motor is a 5hp single phase Baldor. The seller says that the compressor is in excellent shape with no rust or leaks. He is asking $250. I have searched everywhere I could think of to find what this compressors cfm rating would be at around 90 or 100 psi and cant find any information. I am curious if anybody that has a similar compressor could give me some specs on it.

5 HP appears to be too much of a motor for that compressor. That said, you should expect to see more than 10 ACFM from that unit based on this:

How much more? You will have to call your local Quincy dealer.

Thanks that is the info I had found on it. Looks like at max RPMs it will get close to 10 at 175 acfm with a 3hp motor. I don't figure it hurts the compressor to run with a 5hp as long as it isn't turning to fast. I have called Quincy, they didn't have the answers (or weren't willing to look it up) on what its cfm would be at 90 to 100.
