281. Re: [Shop-talk] air over hydraulic bottle jacks (score: 1)

As unsophisticated as you'd expect from Horrible Freight. Usually the pistons are coaxial, but the photo shows that it's as you describe. They just added an air cylinder to a manual jack. In typical

The other side of that is that if you don't regularly need the higher pressure, 2-stage compressors are less efficient than single-stage. You'lll get more air with the same actual horsepower from a s

Actually, although air-cooled airplane engines indeed have clearances a little looser than liquid-cooled engines, the reason for the really thick feelers is to pre-set hydrauklic lifters.; They're no

If that's the rating, then there is no problem. The size of the tank is immaterial (once it's up to pressure) if the free air (SCFM) rating of the tool is less than the free air (SCFM) rating of the

That's not quite right. The die grinder needs its air supply at 90 PSI, but in a minute it will exhaust 4 CFM of free air, not 4 CFM of 90 PSI air or 28 CFM of free air. The drop in pressure across

I can't address the meaning of the Chinese website's specs. My electric die grinder has at least the power of most air ones, and it uses a few amps at 110 volts. So are you telling us that this wonde

You may have the solution to the controversy there. Those Chinese guys are obviously using a 7:1 compression ratio at 90 PSI, a little low but pretty close. They're saying that the tool really needs

And if they're platinum or whatever, I guess I'll check them first. They should still be fine, right ? I suppose blasting those plugs is a bad idea, in that it'll round off the corners where the spa

Rounding isn't an issue if you file (or preferably stone) the electrodes carefully after blasting. Those little blasters do the same thing that (that portion of) the $1,000 Champion machine does. It'
