Cutting the noise from my Air Compressor in HALF

[@robdueckman359]

This is my favorite one so far because I’m in it.

You read your lines well!

When 1 bearing goes and you have most of the assembly apart. Buy the other one and put it in. They are designed to last the same amount of time. Not sure if this is common knowledge. -From a former prototype machine designer. /

If it pulls air through the side into the machine the fan blade is mounted the wrong way around.

[@gleaseman]

You had me worried but I just ran up and checked and it was on correctly. 😅

[@Alexander470815]

​ @gleaseman The thing is, it was wrong in the first place. The shape has to be like a spoon shoving the air, if you hold that upside down its way less effective. Try searching for kaeser sx6 digitsmith on google pictures, there are some where you can see the fan blade an its the other way around.

A simple man read the title and said, why would someone want 1/2 their tank capacity 😮

[@gleaseman]

Thanks, you're 100% right!

[@nickj2508]

For those playing at home, the previous title said "volume" , it may have caused more viral response 😀, some ninnies would start saying of course to reduce the base pressure time constant from empty... or some other nonsene.

You will always have a tank full of air, not half. If only use one, your only using half the amount of air available. As for the motor, you can leave it in place, just pull the rotor out. For the tool to undo the bolts, use a 1/4 or 3/8 ext bar, and cut a slot in it. 1 hour topps The pulley, hit it, in the middle, and should just pop off. I would be more Scared, that they are no barriers up they. 😂

@@user-jx1fo6gx7z you failed the test, "volume" as in sound, as in the existing title is corrected to say "noise"

[@SeersantLoom]

For some reason audio is distorted. Noise cancellation filter, bad mic, mic covered, etc, can't say exactly.

Appreciate the feedback! They'll get better in time. My shop has 30+ foot ceilings, unfortunately 😂
