I have almost the exact same compressor. Wayne made an excellent unit. Nice buy!![]()
Craigslist find. At first I went and looked at a Gardner Denver 1-1/2hp (probably) decided it probably wouldn't be enough cfm for me. I think this might do the trick.
No motor, which was fine as it was probably 3ph anyway. With the pressure lube and lifesaver feature of the Dresser, I might put that one into service. With a 7.5hp motor @125psi I should be almost at 40cfm

My new Lincoln Power Mig 210 MP arrived. I found the little Craftsman roll cab on CL for $50. It will be integrated into the welding cart I will build.
I wouldn't have even bought those since they didn't have stamping. U said u were in a bind tho so I understand

How can you get 40 CFM out of 7.5 HP? I was under the compression (LOL) that HP and CFM were essentially a direct relationship? If there is a magic trick to pull 40 CFM out of what would normally be 25 CFM, please let me know, I would love to be able to get more out of my compressor too.
And a cheapy screwdriver to make a toyota brake shoe spring tool.
can you show me or walk me through how you did this? I am looking to do the same thing for changing out my rear brakes
Yeah..... Only cause I was in a bind and needed them. Any more I will most likely go with another company cause that etching really doesn't sit well with me
Me neither, not once, not ever. I have Mac, snap on, and matco stuff, all etched and it doesn't seem to affect the quality of the tools at all.Haven't had any issues with my etched stuff?
Guess you do a lot of side work?
GTA MATT, do you have the part number for the OTC slide hammer set and maybe the price? Thanks.
Mike
Your right, I was looking at the 10hp. Still should be in the 30s with 7.5hp though with some interpolation from the 250psi bracket. Given less psi = more cfm.

Had to help a friend do his wheel bearings on his e46 M3 so I bought the bearing removing set. This set is sooooo good, it saves you so much time. and got a fork set for ball joints because it was innexpensif.
I will also leave a 32mm 1/2 drive socket in there so I dont have to forget it if I do a job at someone else house.
What bearing kit is that?
I think you are looking at displacement, not actual CFM, it should be about 25 CFM for a 7.5 HP motor. I had my hopes up that you had found some trick. Oh well, it will still be a nice compressor.
23 piece wheel bearing set. bought it for 110$ at my local tool store
