WTB: Garage shizzy


zeitgeist57

Recommended Posts

My friend and I are constructing a 5-car garage on some property he owns on the East side. He's building it, and I'm furnishing it (with a promise to have everything insured by my friend!)

 

I need:

 

MASSIVE air compressor (bigger than the 7hp, 60ga. unit I've got)

TIG welder

four post lift (two-phase motor is fine, but building should be wired for a three-phase if necessary)

 

We've got tools, MIG welder, oxy-acetylene torches, and pneumatic tools. Used equipment would be ideal. Any other sources of good used equipment (at an auction place, for example) would be greatly appreciated as well.

Feel the need to mention something here, when you step beyond the 7.5 HP line of a single phase compressor, or any electric motor for that matter, you pay for it in the electric bill bigtime. Might consider a second 60 or 80 gallon 7 horse, and run them in unison. Figuring that one will run up to 150 and start at 110 have the other one start at 100 PSI and cut out at 130 or 140. It saves on the electric bills that way and you have the capacity of a 14 horse compressor.

 

As far as a TIG welder, I will keep my eye out. I don't know what you want to spend, I would sell mine for $2500 complete, 400 AMP AC/DC, regulator, foot pedal, thumb control, Post and preflow, not sure how many torches I have right now, over 10 for sure. Hoses, leads, pump and other stuff to build a water cooler (Pump was 150 from ebay by its self). I do have 1 water cooled torch, 350 amp rated. It's single phase and 700 lbs, this is not portable, it's not a little bullshit TIG unit. It's duty cycle doesn't start falling from 100% until 300 AMPS and will run 50% at full output. Buy it before christmas and I will throw in a Speedglas 9000X auto helmet.
