I bought a new compressor

[@garyhaslam5735]

never heard one so quiet.hope it work's out for you .stay safe. gary

[@farminglifeaustralia6716]

Yes its quite alright, the camera mice doesn't really do it justice it tends to auto level out the audio make loud noises softer make soft noises louder. like the wind we don't notice it in life but a mice picks it up and makes the audio awful. Be great if you lived with neighbours near by. John

Good info there John.

Thanks for watching. John

Looks the goods. I've rarely used a compressor since my apprenticeship now all my tools are battery operated, but this looks super useful

[@farminglifeaustralia6716]

Most of my construction tools are battery but I still need air for the workshop use it all the time. John

[@amankubuy]

new compressor .. a very useful tool and support your work ..

[@farminglifeaustralia6716]

Yes very handy. I use it all day. John

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

That "silencer" feature might be handy when you want to run the Anton Chigurh tool! 😜

Hi John, how about a 3 year update? Are you still happy with this compressor? About to get a BlueCarve Cnc plasma and this model was recommended.

[@farminglifeaustralia6716]

Nothing to say really still going like the day I bought it. I am happy with it. John

Awesome, just got one too. Where abouts are you located? We’ve just moved to kempsey NSW

Afternoon John, I'm not the bloke you were replying to but I've also been looking at this compressor and this video has absolutely helped me decide on this one. Thank you for your review mate!

Look into drying the air, can fabricate an air dryer from copper tubes and old truck radiators. Keep your plasma in good nick.

[@farminglifeaustralia6716]

Makes sense I know even another tank after the compressor will catch a lot of water. John

very helpful thanks!

[@garrybrischke53]

Three motors , good idea , if one of them dies you still have an operational compressor with reduced output .But it still works . A bit like a twin engined aircraft when on of the fans fail .😲

[@farminglifeaustralia6716]

Or it could be triple trouble. John

[@panfon5650]

Hi John , I have had small compressors in the past and now Im just realising how much air is needed for some jobs! is this compressor 15 amp plug?

[@fireant128]

SWER distribution is terrible on motors voltage regulation is very poor, running on 3 smaller motors will spread the load. Nice compressor! Might look at one myself

[@farminglifeaustralia6716]

The voltage is all over the place and gets as high as above 250 volts. John

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

@@farminglifeaustralia6716 You need a modern switch mode system to convert single phase SWER to a regulated 3 phase outlet. Cost a mate about 10 grand to be able to run his joinery business machinery. Still cheap compared to what they wanted to extend the 3 phase line to his camp.

[@farminglifeaustralia6716]

@@theoztreecrasher2647 I have only recently learn't that there was a way to have 3 phase off SWER power. I think having half arsed power is just the price we pay for living in the bush. I would put up with no power rather than live in town. John

Number of YT videos showing how to build a box to make the air compressor quieter.

[@farminglifeaustralia6716]

I have had to make my old one quieter when I lived in town had a neighbour who constantly complained to the authorities every time I picked up a tool it didn't work it was a lot quieter but he still complained. John

Is Sydney Tools like Harbor Freight in the lower 48?

[@Frank-bh3cm]

No, we have a company called Hare & Forbes that compares to Harbour Freight, same initials too. Sydney Tools is just a chain of tool stores. They don't really carry industrial size machines...

[@farminglifeaustralia6716]

No as I understand it and its only my impression. Harbour Freight has more budget priced stuff, sort of a super store of Chinese tools and gadgets. Sydney Tools is more brand name tools at a good price. They don't sell big machines more electric hand tools and construction tools. John

That sounds crook I have a friend who has had one for 6 years and had no issues at all thats why I bought one. If I have to replace the diaphragms you can bet everyone will know about it. John
