Hi,
I just found out about this list today and subscribed!
I really need some help! I've got parallysis of analysis!
I'm in the process of setting up an air compressor,
buying new air tools, and a MIG welder.
My son bought me a 6hp single stage Devilbis compressor
with a 60 gal vertical tank.
I'm a weekend warrier, and the 2 stage is just too much $$
I plan on using it for air tools, painting and light sand blasting.
I'm looking at Wilkerson 1/2" npt 5 micron air line filter,regulator,
and lubricator. I plan on individual pieces and plumb up with shut off
valves to allow use of a 10 cfm desiccant dryer for blasting and painting
on an as needed basis. I will use two air hoses, one for ratchets and
one for spraying/blasting.
Any input on this set-up would be greatly appreciated. Easy to change now!
Tools:
Ingersoll-Rand 1/2" impact wrench model IR-2131.
Reportedly 450# torque forward and 600# reverse @ 90psi and 4.8cfm.
Need something like this for strut bolts and some truck parts.
Chicago Pneumatic 3/8" right angle air ratchet, 50# torque
with 125# tightening/loosening by hand capability.
Spray Guns: Speedaire industrial quality 9.2 cfm @50psi
sprays most anything, or a Binks Heavy Duty.
Sand blasters: looking for one to remove mainly rust from autobodys.
Occasional work.
Mig welders: Any pros/cons with use of flux cored vs solid wire with co2?
Looking at 155 amp Lincoln and 145 amp Schumacher welders.
I have a 200 amp ac/dc Miller for stick welding heavy metal, need one
for alum, ss, and sheetmetal.
Any recommendations/horror stories on the above would be greatly
appreciated.
Thx
Dave
