Eaton 5HP 2 stage Air Compressor 60 Gallon Tank Build

(1/20) > >>

stlaser:
So long story short I had a nice Eaton compressor that had a million man hours on it. When I sold business and had auctions I sold the compressor rather than relocate it to CO. You have to draw the line somewhere and my best equipment was kept and the well used stuff & I parted ways. So fast forward several months and I'm now tired of not having an air compressor. I found a like new 60 gallon tank on CL local with a 200psi rating for a song and a dance. So once acquiring a new shop I called up Eaton. Couple weeks later these components showed up on the back of a semi on a small skid.

Cool project...Build your own compressor!

Correct, did this last go around and saved enough thought I'd try it again.

Well, that will be plenty for a home shop.

This Eaton V4 thing I have is total overkill, but running like a champ...and quiet, well like as in mud tire quiet...

Correct, last unit was a tad small so after speaking with the owner (Tony is it?). We decided to bump up to this small 2 stage unit. I'll post pics of the tank and frame or partial frame here in next day or so. If I did my ciphering correctly this unit should squeeze under that first loft I built. I plan n using sound deadening material on 2 sides of it against wall and bottom of loft to help absorb or muffle the sound.
