Northern Virginia Roll Call

This is something I might be able to pull off, keep me posted.

 

I feel like a carpenter - made this little air compressor closet including the door

 

I might be up for this.. I take the day off every year and do a personal thing for it. No set time frame on my end, just something I do.

So....... Keep this updated please if still happening.

 

Nice! What size compressor is going in it.

 

Anyone now of who buys good used tires 265-70R17 Grandtrek AT20 still have about 58% tread left

 

2 stage ingersoll 80 gallon

 

Cool. Gonna run any kinda air-dryer on it? Curious as I came across these the other day browsing the web.

 

Those are way too nice for him. For me too.

 

At the old place we added elbows where the airlines connect and ran a piece of pipe further down with a drain. Kinda like a sideways T. It worked well enough for air tools. For painting i just used an inline dryer. A dryer setup like that would be sweet though.

 

Rite rite. Me too.

Gotcha. Was just wondering while the above dryer was still in me head.

 

Most of the cheaper dryers have poor reviews. Any idea what the ones you linked cost? They look expensive.

 

Haha. No idea on price. but figure pricey as hell with all the cans on 'em.

Edit: Found one price on ebay for $1400. Down right crazy. but if you need no water/humidity in the air system at all. I guess it might be worth it.

 

I figured as much. If you have to ask what it costs you can't afford it.

 

Damn Skippy!

 

Nice, do you intend/need to ventilate the space?

 

I used louvered vents for the soffit areas, plus some undercut under the door, so i'm hoping that will be enough. If not i'll make some through wall vents.

 

It'll get warm in there, but you should be okay.

 

I hope. I know the compressor does something like 24cfm at 175psi. Theres a way to calculate the needed net free area, but i'm way to lazy for that.

 

Math is hard. It won't be running non-stop, so it has time to cool. Even tools like a cut-off wheel will take a while to drain the tank. Especially if you're the only one using it.

 

Agreed. It takes a while for it to kick on with normal tools. But, i do want a blasting cabinet and that will make it run at like a 75% duty cycle based on what it did at the old shop.
