Free air Compressor to Steven Cox

As I say in the video the air compressor is going to Steven Cox. If you have not watched the original video the premise was I needed to downsize and had this 10 hp Curtis D 97 air compressor that was out fitted with a Unique3phase converter. Instead of trying to sell it on Craigslist here in Idaho I decided to give it to a worthy You tube Channel. ChuckE2009 recommended Steven Cox as they collaborate together a lot. Because I was sending a used air compressor the shipping company wanted it boxed (crated). It should be going over to the shipper some time in the next few days depending on if it snows. Steve should get it in 5 or 6 days. Then figure another 2 days to remove all the screws I put into the crate. After all the work done to this compressor I started worrying about the fork lift drivers knocking it over. Air compressors are top heavy and once it is crated the forklift operator can not see what he is lifting. Plus to put it on this trailer I had to have it so it can be lifted from the end in addition to the sides. Once it leaves here is goes to Utah and then is transferred to another truck for the trip to Texas. All that should be done on flat level floors with out a lot of lifting it high in the air. Then Steven has to be able to lift it off the back of the truck. Hope all goes well!

You are very generous. Freight companies are a rip off on used equipment when it comes time for damages. We added 10,000 dollars insurance to a piece of equipment being shipped. They dropped it off a fork lift. They wanted to pay $500. They said it was used. Well we had pics and invoices from where it was shipped. had to get a lawyer involved to recover cost. Always make the box where they can't stack on top.

I see! I was worried so I tried to make the box strong enough for them to tilt the forks and have the box lean back on to the mast. Inside I have wood blocks up against the tank to help support it. From your reply I can see why they told me they would not take it with out the crate. Used equipment.

The crate we had was clearly marked. Lift from this side. They picked it up from the other side and the crate flipped when they moved it from one truck to another at one of their terminals. I was impressed with your phase convertor. I use a small Cedarburg convertor on a Bridgeport mill. Rated 5 hp.

Just ordered your book because I watched Steve's video and am interested in building my own 3 phase converter for running a milling machine. Thank you

FYI Cox just put up a video where he wants to sell stuff because he's moving in a couple months. He showed the compressor and is asking $3000 for it. Not a bad profit margin considering he got it free. I doubt anybody will even pay half that for it tho. It is a nice unit.

According to the tracking info it is in Salt Lake City today. Still in one piece we hope.

cool cant wait to see him put it to use i built my own shop air set up because it was cheaper then what i could afford but that thing is massive i could never use that much air. honestly its a bit to big for most people. i will stick with my smaller twin cyl and 3 tanks hooked up for running my impact and air rachet along with the random die grinder or high speed cut of wheel.

Hi, I was in the body shop business and we use way more air then the mechanics. Sandblasting even small parts really sucks up the air. Thanks for the reply.

@@unique3phase i am a welder i have worked in paint before when one of them was sick the air you guys use is insane i get it. if i was blasting and doing body work i would love a compressor like that or bigger but the most i need can be taken care of with what i have if i need more i just call my buddy and barrow the 185cfm compressor he uses on job sites to run jack hammers

That very nice of you , that`s more like it for a shop air compressor , big box stores air compressors are pieces of junk . unfortunate it`s 3 phase , he have to buy a converter to connect to his electrical system , even than it my tax the shop electrical because we don`t know how big a electrical panel he is getting in his shop , i doubt it will be 200 amp service more like 100 amp .

Thought earlier video showed it with an attached converter. It's hard not to get 240V in the area Steve and I are in. Three phase is more available in light industrial areas than you'd expect. I don't know how many amps the service entrance is for, so the lights may dim when it starts... Is there a good RU-vid with an LME? (Licensed Master Electrician - when we installed a datacenter in our last house, I really learned their value.) Maybe he could help, because this is going to be fun to watch. That thing is a shop anchor - great to have, but not easy to move. Ask Abom79 about that...

Stephen never said to much about the electical wiring to the shed on the rental property, but something sinks with his landlord dragging his heels on upward grades he promised Stephen , his one year rental contract is getting close to renewal.

The three phase converter is built into the box. It draws 40 amps when it is running and pumping up to full pressure. I believe his landlord installed a 200 amp service, plenty good for this.
