Likely, he's a homeowner and it would instructive to find a reference for an insurance cancellation for an old air compressor. Insurance cancelled? Yes, industrial compressor applications must have an annual city inspection, but OP hasn't told us he's commercial. The DV432 pump is a GREAT reliable pump that can move a lot of air quietly, and I'm sure that motor is fine, too.Ĭlick to expand.Whoa, lotsa flat statements got substantiation? The pump and motor are probably worth saving, though. If you really want the "aesthetics" of the riveted tank, the best thing you can do is cut it open and shove a modern tank inside of it, plumb the tank to the outside world, weld the riveted tank back up, then grind & paint it I'd 5 PSI max in that tank and use it for filling up basketballs, That's about it.
I've seen air compressors from 1944 with "modern" stamped and welded tanks, so that tank is likely pushing 100+ years old. That pump seems much more modern than the tank. They haven't riveted tanks together for a long time. The switchover mechanism is usually inside the rotor, and it will short out the commutator. The motor is probably a repulsion induction motor. It might pump a bit of oil, but whatever. Who doesn't like to see the surprises you find in the guts of these thing?Ĭompressor pumps are generally pretty durable things, and some light pitting in the LP cylinder shouldn't hamper performance much. I'll take more photos as I go along and update. 50 amps or so at 110! Might explain why it's so big.Īll advice and suggestions are welcome. No caps either so I have to assume it's some sort of other start mechanism. The motor is absolutely massive for a 5hp. I plan on taking it apart entirely since it's obviously gotten wet at least to the piston. I realize I could try get it machined and sleeved but that might be overkill for a 100$ compressor. So the question is what level of carnage is acceptable in the low pressure side of this? The high pressure cylinder are beauty. The valves on that cylinder were also pretty mucky. One low pressure cylinder had quite a bit of rust and gunk in it.
#AIR TOOL KIT WITH COMPRESSOR FULL#
It wouldn't turn a full revolution when I got it so I pulled off the heads. I’m curious what size this will take.So I've found an old two stage Devilbiss 432 compressor with 5 horse single phase motor running it. Most other brands use standard industrial sizes which means you can get really good 3M belts. My Makita is a good tool but it uses a strange size belt which is difficult to source except from Makita, and theirs are meh quality. Alas they did not mention what size belts it takes, which matters. Also like most models (except Milwaukee) they advertise you can swap out to different arms. It looks like they went for the middle-of-the-road sort of design, like Makita, whereas Milwaukee’s M12 models more closely resemble the compact pneumatic type used in auto body shops while Metabo and Hilti’s are the much more powerful kind typically seen in welding/fab shops. ….and while it’s not expected to ship until the end of October it does qualify for the fall sale. I was just poking around on Acme’s Dewalt fall sale and they have listed Dewalt’s new bandfile sander for pre-order:
