Re: Air Compressor / DIY. ?

Morning young man...

If it was my choice, I would not be looking to layout some $340 plus to try and save the old system...and wonder if the tanks are really that good....

Any reason why you need 3 HP ?

I have this unit in my shop and it works great, is mobile if necessary and its a reasonable price...

Just my 2 cents worth...

Have a great year...

I actually looked at that compressor yesterday.

Yeah, The tanks not being as good as I think they are,
Has been on my mind.

Also Creating another project has been on my mind also.

I did find out the motor on the old one will work.

I still debating,

The compressor you posted will probably win .

I was wondering about this for 2 reasons.

1st reason: This is what HF suggested.

2nd reason is a 5HP is cheaper. So, is More Better? In this case?
