I can see flood coolant making an absolutely horrendous mess on a bundle cut taking 1.5 hours.

I can’t say as I’ve ever attempted cutting a 4K bundle of steel, but there’s a first time for everything.

Sometimes deals just fall into your lap.

A friend asked me yesterday if I was interested in a screw compressor. He said a buddy of his was downsizing his shop and didn't have 3 phase at his new location, so his air compressor was for sale. Lightly used, hour meter is a shade under 1900 hours, and it has the service records in the door.

I immediately said yes when he showed me a picture and said $500.

So now I have 3 compressors. Time to find a new home for one of my Quincy piston compressors.

Anyway, its an Atlas Copco 10hp screw, will do 36CFM at 129psi. And it will do so quietly.

It also has a built in refrigerated air dryer. Which is neat.

Gonna try to have it hooked up tomorrow.

That deserves a "You Suck" post
