Re: Air Compressor Big and Small- David Kumm Style

There isn't much to rebuilding the QR series but like everything else, it can be a crap shoot if the piston or bearings are an issue.? the valves are a no brainer to clean up.? the QT is the low end pump and you don't rehab those.? I think the 350 or 370 10 hp pumps are more appropriate for a pressurized blaster but do your homework.? Sometimes you can find a duplex compressor on CL or FB.? Two 325 with one tank.? Use one or both when necessary.? Dave

Dave,

Thanks for the recommendation.? thanks to your previous comments I have my eyes out for one of these 325¡¯s.? I am still building skills, but think I would enjoy the challenge of a rebuild if I can source one.?

I don¡¯t own a blast cabinet yet- waiting for the shop to be built before Ill have the space.? But I am leaning toward a PSBC990 Pressurized pot style cabinet.? Spec sheet claims? 25 CFM @80 PSI with 5MM nozzle, but it also appears that from several users that the pressurized pot cuts down on that requirement.? Again, I have used blasters, but this will be my first personal setup so I am ridding pretty blind here.?

Anthony
