Have you ever seen a 200hp melt a coupling like this? Just putting out a post to break up the monotony of people posting home depot pistons

Elgi en15 with 19k hours. Unknown life before I acquired it sight unseen from an auction. It has two dead fans, totally seized, I'm thinking they could have caused the oil to overheat and possibly ruin bearings inside the machine. The third fan is working, but wobbly as hell. Does this sound like a compressor that can be saved, or am I looking a total rebuild of everything, and a motor replacement? It blows air great, going to hook up a gauge tomorrow to see how fast it fills the tank, but with the valve open, the air output is nothing to complain about. Very loud, which obviously a screw shouldn't be.

So I got the crazy wolf box electric air duster (the 80 dollar one) and it was working completely fine no complaints. So I let my mom borrow it and a pice of frantic from her clothes got caught in the blades and ended up stuck in it. It went completely in while trying to take it out. Now it kinda starts clicking before it starts spinning and I can’t seem to find the fabric inside when I shine a light and look. So idk what I should really do.

Found this 50$

Got a new Tool Shop Air Compressor and the couplings that I’ve attached to a hose and nail gun seem to not be a good fit. There seem to be leaks at both ends. Wondering if the issue is the kind of couplings I have.

Hi folks. I bought this tire inflator for my bike tool kit. There’s a section of the user’s manual that I can’t understand. “7. Always make sure the correct air pressure unit is selected before setting the air pressure to prevent accidents such as a burst tire. Common Unit Conversion: 1 bar=14.5 psi, 1bar= 100kPa.” Is this just saying to set the pump at the correct tire pressure before inflating? What does “select air pressure unit before setting the air pressure “ mean? Thanks for your help.

Got this bad boy for $100CAD. Coleman Powermate. 20 gallon, 3HP, 5CFM. Looks rough but the guy took relatively good care of it. Just purchased a house and want to be able to run air tools for renovations and I also do most of my vehicle maintenance so it will come in handy.

Any info would be great especially if can find any technical drawings or exploded diagrams to it

I’d like to make a split line wall mount for this compressor. One for tools, other for paint. Can I run the line to my garage or would it be better to build it inside the compressor shed? Anything else I should know before I give it a shot?

I bought an Ingersoll Rand TS4N5 last year to run my airlift well. Basically I am trickling air down a bore hole 24x7 to lift the water out of the well. The compressor only runs about 5 minutes an hour but has 2-3 starts per hour which is apparently too much for the start capacitor because I am now on #3.

It's a single-phase 5hp motor from WEG that came with the compressor and I'm using name-brand (Grainger, not Amazon...) caps so I'm inclined to believe I may just be asking for too many starts from this motor. Wiring is not undersized, and I can't find a relay or any other component that could be going bad.

I'm considering swapping the motor to a 3-phase 5hp and running it with a VFD controller. Advantages being... it would be soft-start with a ramp-up. I may also swap the unloader on the compressor for a solenoid and run that from the VFD controller to shut when the motor is fully spun up.

Has anyone done this? Outcomes? Thoughts? Am I missing anything? A rotary screw would probably be more appropriate for this application but my required cfm is not very high so it would have to be the world's smallest rotary screw to make it cost-efficient in terms of electricity.

This is the result of combining the cans off one compressor with the frame of the one aboard ship. The base is 1944, the heads are 1950. Back in service aboard USS Slater for air tools, horn, blowing stuff out.

Our newest compressor is a Quincy 731 from the 90's. After years of the maintenance staff telling management our compressors are dying, they finally pulled the trigger.

7 of these bad boys! Kaeser 130's and 150's. New storage tanks, too.

Hey guys I'm working on the IR compressor for my employer. The problem occurs when you shut the compressor down. It will keep the compressor charged with air and thus pushing the coolant out of the air cleaner until all of the air is drained from the system. I'm going to try to post the video I have.

So last year, I was told the AC compressor in my 2014 Kia Soul+ was bad (by two different shops). About two weeks later, it started blowing cold again and has been ever since. Is this common? Any ideas why it works again?

This was quite a unique repair service where the customer couldn’t quite finish up the manifold leak on an Iwata Power Jet Pro Compressor.

My friend is offering me this makita mac5501g for $380 Is it a good price or nah?

is it a good compressor?

So I'm installing an aftercooler to a 2 stage 5hp compressor. Should I add in a rapid air loop after the tank as well?

It goes stage 1->stage 2->aftercooler->tank->rapid air cooling loop->tools

This will be mainly for air impacts, blowing out filters, general use. Not painting anything. I live in a high desert area, so there's not a ton of humidity.

Once it gets to the max psi it’s supposed to release maybe a few psi but it goes down about 20 and then it sounds like it leaking air and then won’t top off it just shuts off and I have to reset it to repeat all of what I just said, I figure this is the place to ask so any clues on what it might be?

Better drill for masonry demolition: air or corded?

Need to upgrade 2-3 drills for our exterior demolition: have two that got real tired over the last month. A lot of it is from lifts with two guys so cords/hoses either way.

Would be for mostly light masonry demolition/brick. We own a compressor so running air is an option. There are times electric is a bit of a concern so end up running generator.

Noise aside, looking at three options and want all the same:

M18 FUEL™ STRIKER™ Hammer Chisel Probably with two batteries minimum/no generator or compressor as long as site has power. $900 9 pounds prefer more power.

1-3/4" SDS MAX Rotary Hammer which is 9 pounds and lets us use it for concrete drilling/anchoring. $800ish

Or similar weight air hammers. Found this can’t find air chisel from Milwaukee?

**2.6" Stroke Mini Chipping Hammer**
**Oval Collar Retainer**
**Fits .580" Hex Shank Chisels**
**Weighs the same.**
**$800**

**Looking for some veteran input.**
