    Compressed Air Gloat

    Hi , I'm waiting for my son to get home so he can help me take this thing off the truck( a 1990 GMC w/ 200k miles). It's a 5hp Quincy 4 cylinder. The intake filter has been ASHREA, BIA and Bill Pentz approved...wait... wrong thread. Saw it at the IWF in August. It should be able to handle any spraying, air tools or other compressed air needs.
    take care,
    John

    HAWHAW - bout blew my ASHREA approved coffee out my nose.
    Seriously - the oil vs oil-less compressor threads are only slightly less volatile if you're looking to promote a blowup.
    Looks like you'll be all set to put out lots of hot air with that beastie.

    what a compressor. very nice and certainly droolworthy!

    What kind of output can that Quincy achieve? I've not looked that closely at any 4 Cyl models before.

    Hi Mike, The literature says 18cfm @ 90psi. That's about double what my present 3hp compressor puts out. I was able to get it from a local dealer for the same price as some internet companies were offering it for. This is the QTSV-45E. E is for economy. Motor turns at 3600rpm. I didn't want to spend the extra money for the 1800rpm version nor a two stage compressor. This is probably overkill for my needs anyway.

    Doug, I didn't know that there were oil vs oilless debates here. Missed that. I can see Ken ready to pounce.
    take care,
    John

    Very nice, John! Quincy is premo.

    But I suspect you bought it for the color... LOL!

    Very Nice, John. The old slow turning Quincy's have always been my favorites. Let us know how the noise level is with that machine.

    Even the Quincy is a "toy" in some respects...LOL! Amazing what replaces GI-Joe, Erector Sets and stuffed animals as you get, umm...more mature.

    Yeah, I was just meeting with a customer today about a new project. Their plastic bottle making plant is going to have 2 1500HP compressors, 2 1000HP compressors and some other "small" ones.
