My new compressor...

[bronc3buster842001]

Finally got one worth having... Now to figure out how to get around it being 3 phase... But for what I got in it, A(freebie) few hundred for a converter or new motor is cheaper than a new one...

Nice!

Very nice! I cant wait to get a bigger better compressor! Mine cant keep up with a die grinder for more than a couple minutes...

ya I had 2 33 gallon ones crap on me in the last year... this should be all the compressor I need, then some for a lifetime..

look up home made convotors with 2 older motors. budy of mine did it and had a cheep but good convotor.

get a new motor, for a compressor I don't think I'd run a static converter, and a rotary one probably cost more than a motor, nice score!

Any updates on the compressor? Is it a 7.5 hp?

 

[bronc3buster842001]

I started to clean it up and paint it... It was a 7.5hp three phase... Still saving to buy a 7.5 single phase...

Also is the process of running electric to the shed for it and my new welder

Check the local phone book for hydro testing.
