I see these are back being sold at a good price. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/372225303961

Seems like a bargain. I paid £275 for mine eight years ago and it's still going strong

I got mine from UKHSTV for £199 when they had an email offer on. I reserved it and fetched it same day they are not to far from here. Safety valve stuck open once but a quick flick and it's never done it since. Must be a good price they are out of stock now.

It was £299. Think I paid about £220 for mine about 5 or 6 years ago. Still a lot cheaper that a direct drive Machine Mart one and mine has been faultless.

Bought one around 2017 (£249 I think) to double up an existing belt drive unit for grit blasting. Doesn't get used much but it's never let me down and it's noticeably quieter than my main belt drive unit

I think I got mine from ukhs too, at a bargain price at the time (can’t remember how much was a long time back…) but not let me down, gets used for sand blasting, spraying and blowing up the tyres on the cars and caravan…good bit of kit…

I got mine from UKHS too....
...mine got lowered so it would fit under my bench

the back wheels are easy, just drill another hole

the single wheel at the front was replaced by a couple at the side on a new frame

Only issue I have with mine is that it sometimes trips the 16A breaker, on startup, in the cons unit in the garage….

Trouble with that is the freezer is off the same radial….

change the breaker to a c type it will take the inrush current without tripping

Not sure but I think it already is ( I took this into account when I wired the garage) I’ll check and report back
