Today I acquired...........

[Melvyn Best]

It became a Sunday morning thing, went to the local street market and seek for cool things.
Today I've filled the little punto trunk with just a single item.
This huge 2HP bench grinder, cast iron body, roughly 80cm end to end and probably about 80kgs.
More pics when someone helps me to get it out my car

You’ll have to start a new thread” how to get this out of the car”

It was auction lots, need to pick them up when I get back from the middle east in two weeks time.

From the listing, the tools are apparently "tested, working", but I would assume need cleaned and possibly a service.

The auctioneer was clear that the controls on the compressor are shot (always on when powered up, blows off continuously once it reaches max pressure) but it runs fine.

I am unsure how to use it TBH:

- I could plum in the two compressors in parallel and control them off the one pressure sensor in my existing compressor...
Or
-I could interconnect the two receivers,
Then
- Use the second compressor to build a PTO driven compressor for the Landrover... Which would end up being capable of delivering a hell of a lot of air (as it's effectively a 100kW engine driven unit at that point).

Already got it out, two 25 years old guys friends since their birth got it out in few seconds.
Actually me and my friend/brother as we consider ourselves brothers because we grown up together we call our parents dad and mom too even if they are not

Repair and resell?

A few days ago but a 7 inch version talon grip Snap On pliers from Japan



I find myself reaching for these pretty much every job I'm doing at a car. The precise and strong grip is very good. Indeed my favourite tool now

Repair and resell?

I might well do that...

But if I set out with that intention it will immediately turn into a "when I get round to it" project, and thus never actually happen.

Having a totally portable engine driven compressor that "just clips onto" one of my vehicles would be very handy though...

Would the IR pump be up to continuous operation?

Would the IR pump be up to continuous operation?

Ingersoll sells the T30 series compressors as being capable of 100% duty cycle at the rated capacity, and it has unloader valves too, so can be kept rotating unpressurized when there's no air demand.

If I was to increase the engine RPM to push it well above rated capacity, it would tolerate it pretty well due to the design, but eventually start to overheat and blow-by without external cooling...

However I really can't see myself needing to push it to deliver that kind of air volume in a mobile setting... The 2430 size compressor is rated for 8.6 CFM @ 175 psi, which equates to 111 scfm, which is enough to run half a dozen angle grinders at once, or a small sandblaster.

Lovely free roll of premium filament thanks to 350 prusameters, although shipping from the Czech Republic was the same cost as a cheap Chinese pla spool from ebay!
