this plan might explain some of the really loud "BANGS" around the neighbourhood.
I could tell the weather was picking up - I saw a dude in his driveway painting his Toyota Dyna on the weekend.Fortitudo et SuperbiamComment

Due to Bunnings hiding the bloody things (I should have thought to look in the gardening section for compressors...), I only managed to get started on hte project this weekend, but, so far they seem to work fine.
I've only got two at the moment, but, they come with an un-regulated output which makes them really easy to daisy chain.
I've got to see if I can get the chance to get some decent hose and fittings today..
So far, so good....Imagination is more important than knowledge.Comment

I looked at one in the store and thought that you might have to remove the regulator assembly to be able to link them.
Are you saying you can just connect the two unregulated outputs from each tank and keep the original regulators on their original bracket? That would be just too easy!Comment

I went to get a third last night, but, they had sold out. So I got some lines and hooked the two I had up in a manner less likely to kill myself and and innocent bystanders.
zac - That's exactly how it works, I'll try to remember to get a picture tonight. The right hand output on each compressor is unregulated, all you need is a hose between the two (or three).
As an experiment, I'm running two of them off a powerboard and haven't managed to pop the curcuit breaker on it yet. The current draw of all 3 could start to get a little suspect though (they draw 7 amps each and I've only got one curcuit in the shed...)Imagination is more important than knowledge.Comment

I've been wondering that myself, I might grab a die grinder tonight and do some 'stress testing'..Imagination is more important than knowledge.Comment

how noisy are these little suckers? whats the build quality like?This is a post i wrote by mistake, which is nice...Comment

The're not the quietest thing in the world, but, no compressor is. I've got a noise meter at home, so I can give you some numbers. I've got a seperate garage and workshop and I'll definately be setting them up in the garage and running a line into the workshop.
As for quality, typical GMC, little rough around the edges, nothing flash, but, should do the job...Imagination is more important than knowledge.Comment

I've seen identical compressors but painted green, for $130!Comment

numbers aren't really necessary... my old man's big compressor is too loud to talk over without actually yelling.. that loud? or quieter... i might thing about putting them outside in a slightly soundproofed box or something.. if/when i get motivated to get setup

Feel free to come over and have a look/listen once/if I get it all sorted.
My housemate was in the backyard while i was playing with them yesterday and she didn't know I had them on which is probably a good sign....Imagination is more important than knowledge.Comment
