I bet this Mac weed eater would give my Husqvarna a run for it's money.

The handle sticking out the side would anger me and would make my bench not fit and other tool stands and such not flush up to it when not in use. I would prolly use a “tee” connector and offset it inside the bench legs. Shorten the boxes you made to account for space under the bench. Prolly build a third one for additional weight. But all four wheels with one motion, and not walking all the way around your bench to deal with individual lifting casters is pure gold and you can store your bench in a corner if you want.

Thanks for the video. After changing the oil on my compressor, oil started spitting out the top of the oil cap (which seems to have a breather and check-valve of some kind). Any guesses why that's happening? I have the oil level exactly halfway in the sight-glass, and I used oil meant for air compressors (ISO 68).

I like this video so much, I'd like to send you some WD40. Thank you sir. Couldn't you have done the same using wood? I've seen a few Retractable caster videos recently. Great idea!

I'm not sure if it's smart or not but when I drain my tank I let it run for a bit with the drain open to force out all the water

Great work. Over-engineered vs standard wheels. I think.

needs grease, but great concept

I have the same saw, but man yours is in great condition, has been taken care of well! Thing is built like a tank, no tool company would use so much metal on a tool today. Thing weighs like 50lb.

I have the same Craftsman compressor model (mine was manufactured in 2007). Recently it stopped generating pressure beyond 30-40 PSI and would run continuously. I thought it was a bad pressure regulator, but it turned out to be a blown upper head gasket. This gasket seals between the head intake and exhaust chambers, and my gasket had blown out between the chambers. Once I replaced the gasket it worked perfectly.

My compressor will build up air but I can’t get air through the service line. Therefore I can’t add air to my tires. Please advise

DEAR GOD WAX IT.

Thanks for the video, i found my bottom gauge a bit loose, i don't know where is water leaking from. Although mine dripping clear water, i just use it for paint miniature. So i should drain this regurarly?

You were pushing on the inner race of the bearing when installing it. Shouldn’t you be pushing on the outer race to not damage the bearing?

great teaching

I've been an engineer for the last 60 + years but I still get a buzz from watching machinery being worked on.

Why is it so squeaky?

My belt is hard to slide on all the way back because of a little rust can I use W 40 on it.

They did come from the same place!

Thank you! I don't think anything you said was too basic for those of us that know nothing about them. I have my father's now and have never used one. 👍

Entertaining but unnecessarily complicated design

perhaps replacing those Chinese bearings would have been a good idea while out with higher quality ones.

The video is good the only thing I notice is that you whip the gun back and forth quite a bit to get a good bead and the reason say that is cause I do the same thing when I'm mig welding but other than that the video was good

Awesome video! Very detailed with great views and production value.... I don't need this upgrade yet, but I will save this video for when I do! Thanks!!!

Lovely! Candle wax in the wooden hole the pipe pivots in, would make it silent and you could move the bench without noise complaints from the neighbours. 😜👍🏻

Great thank you

Well done and well explained thanx

Nice video! Why not replace all plastic gears, and may be bearings?

Fixed my homelite 2 fuel lines and pump luckily carb was ok. Broken choke lever but works and won't dance around like yours though bummer

Life saver sir!!! Great Video!!! Just what I needed to fix my mill that I've had for 3 days! lol :)

Cool 😎

Always wondered if I can leave my compressor under pressure between uses. I prob use the compressor about once per month. Is it better to drain the pressure in between uses? It’s a small 5 gallon no oil pancake compressor.

Question: how do I replace the small round silver bulb . Mine rusted out and broke ? So wont be able to latch the replacers ?

I got a vivo home air compressor and I can’t find the oil plug or where to fill it can anybody help

Great video, clean and precise. My only critique is why didn't you upgrade the bearings when you had it apart?

Even these budget machines have so many parts! Newfound appreciation

Really useful jig and info thanks

What can I do to repair electric motor for compressor

NOTHING should have plastic gears. if a childs bicycle can not have plastic gears, why would *ANY tool? never buy stuff that is engineered- made to break.

Very good video. Thank you.

Excellent video. I just an hour ago busted the plastic drive gear on top of the gearhead. I totally agree that this is a perfect place to have a failure point because it is dead easy to get at. I will probably end up replacing the internal plastic gears with metal, though, at some point, but I need to get the plastic drive gear now so I can finish my project. My machine is apparently a Sieg X2 or clone, the WEN 33013. Big Orange. My lathe is Big Blue, the Vevor 7 x 12 I think it is. I will probably upgrade its gears, too. Both machines have served me well for a couple of years now, just making parts and doodads for house and boat. Honestly, making a full set of gears should have been my first milling project. Now, I got too many other jobs waiting to do. Again, great vid, thumbs up, thanks for posting.

Nice video.

Most require 20W or 30W non detergent oils.

I would vacuum the tank out good one time, to help dry the moisture inside.

Very clever! Great project! Great video!

My only "problem" is the noisy squealing sound that makes EVERY TIME you move the handle!! PERSONALLY, before I put the pipe into the wood frame, I would have taken a small amount of Finishing Wax on my finger and rubbed just a small bit into each hole the main pipe ran through!! This would also give a little lubrication to it as well, you wouldn't have that annoying squeal, and made the action smoother as well!! Another thing I would have done slightly different is....I'd have added a small detente in the 2X4 that contacts the lift wheels (welded to the pipe) for a sort of "locking feature". So when it was in an "up position" it would be slightly "locked into" that position!! Overall though it is a great video and the logic behind it is very sound!! I really DO like the build as I have been looking for a way to make a mobile workbench myself, and this may solve a couple of problems I have had in the designs I am tinkering with!!

Very good video, I have a 21 gallon vertical Central Pneumatic Harbor Freight compressor that I bought about 12 years ago and did have to replace the leaking top end cylinder gaskets after 2 years but it wasn't very difficult or expensive to do. For the last 10 years it's been pretty trouble free draining the air tank out periodically spring through fall and just before winter and placing it out of service with the valve open for any further moisture drip not needing to use it again until spring, very seldom does any moisture come out of it anymore since I've done this on a regular basis, I change the oil and service the filters each spring, let it run with the valve open for 10 to 15 minutes, then pressurize the system, I also normally like to keep only 40-50 lbs pressure charged in the tank until demand calls for more instead of keeping a full tank of 110-120 psi for safety just to guard against against excessive tank failure damages in the garage in the event of an explosion.

Rub a wax candle around all the wood/wood interfaces to eliminate the squeals

Hi, your blue shop air compressor is almost identical to the one I use. It is suppose to be continuous duty, but discovered that the belt-enclosure, directs all of the air of the cooling air, under the compressor case, instead of over the cylinders, heads, and charge tube. I tossed the guard, air flow now cools target areas. I am certain this was a deliberate attempt by the manufacturer, to shorten its life duration. Especially, if it ever ran under continuous duty situations. As well, I installed a brass elbow, with 6" extension pipe and ball valve, to allow water to collect in brass pipe, away from metal tank. Tank corrosion, sets up a very dangerous situation, on the smaller compressors, for the ones using 30 year old craftsmen compressor's, set them outside away from your proximity, while under pressure, or buy a new one. Be safe.

It’s cool and all….. I just don’t have that kind of time. I’m buying adjustable locking castors from vevor. But thank you for sharing 😊

It’s so funny to me how many people focus on a squeak. I figure if you can come up with this design you know how to fix it if you want too who cares I don’t. I like your design and how simple it is to build, and I am planning on coping it just with bigger casters do to my bench is heavier. It will be easier than using my floor jack and dollies. Keep the videos coming.
