So, thoughts, suggestions? And does anyone have a 5hp motor they need to get rid of?ġ. Basically, I have just a hobby shop need, although it will be running my fogless mist-cooler for both lathe and mill. I plan to have a sand blasting cabinet soon, but it will be used rarely. I don't spray paint cars, or have lots of air tools. My use will be limited, I doubt it will run more than an hour or two a week. So my question is does the compressor pump manufacturer take that into account when specking a 5hp motor as needed? Would a "SPL" rated 5hp motor do just fine for my application? I also know that many of the 5hp motors on factory compressors are rated a bit high. But, most of the motors being sold as 5hp actually come out to be about 3.5 with a max load of 5hp. I know a "real" 5hp motor should be pulling around 24 amps. The pump manual says it requires a 5 hp motor. I already have a plan, using a harbor freight air compressor pump. I got a great deal on a new 80 gallon compressor tank. Kind of long story.I'm building an air compressor. Hope this is the right place, if not feel free to move it where it belongs.
