I know this was posted last year, but any chance you can provide a video of it running? Would like to get a feel for how loud it is. Also review update after a year of use?
I can’t get the oil to drain out of that little tube. When I open it it just drips slowly. Any idea how to drain the oil? Is there a vent I need to open?
Not sure, would depend on your die grinder specifications - this compressor does 14.6 CFM @ 40 PSI; 12.8 CFM @ 100 PSI - keep in mind the duty cycle is 5 minutes pumping and 5 minutes resting, so 50/50 duty cycle.
Only problem I have had with the compressor is the duty cycle. 5 Minutes pumping, 5 minutes resting. Seems short when I was sandblasting or sanding something. Wish I would have gotten a compressor with a longer duty cycle now, but didn't really even consider that when I was looking.
Late comment here but it won't put out 5hp of power or draw 5hp of watts unless it's asked to, which it won't, hooked up to that pump. IE 5 hp motors don't pull that much just spinning, it's just that they CAN put out that power if faced with that much resistance. I'n this case, Quincy designed the pulleys and pump combo to pull roughly 3.5hp of power from that motor. Frankly it's good it's being easy on it since it has a relatively low service factor of 1. Anyway, fyi it's not a mistake but rather part of the system design here. Hope you're enjoying your compressor and thx for the video btw!
A lot of people don't like it if their isn't a magnetic starter vs the on/off pressure switch. The pressure switches are like 25 bucks and last just fine.
@@DISOPtv I put a magnetic motor starter on my Quincy QT-54. The magnetic motor starter usually comes on more expensive compressors. Without a magnetic motor starter, 220v is running thru the pressure switch. This is a lot harder on the contacts and will wear out faster. With a magnetic motor starter, only 110v in running thru the pressure switch and this is easier on the contacts with a lot less wear. Plus the magnetic motor starter helps the motor starts easier. You can buy a P30T magnetic starter for about $72 from compressor-source.com. They are easy to install and worth the money. There are several youtube videos you can look up and watch.

Can’t find it in the owners manual either
I can’t figure out how to drain the oil. It just drips out of the drain. You know what gives?

Sorry I haven't done mine yet, maybe open the fill plug as well?
Also run it for a couple of minutes prior so oil is warmed up.
Will this compressor run die grinders most of the day and be able to keep up?

Why do you have a 5 hp motor on your 3.5 hp compressor?
Yep someone already commented that a year ago.
So now they are making them out of aluminum? Not good.
huh?
Tank is steel.
How are you liking this compressor so far?
So far liking it! It holds air good and is pretty quiet, I put some hockey pucks under the feet. So far it does everything I need!
@@DISOPtv Thanks!

Did you notice the tag on the tank says 3.5 HP but the tag on your motor has 5 HP on it.
I didn't! Good catch, I'll have to check that out!
Thanks for pointing that out, guess they upgraded me :D
@@DISOPtv Check your wiring and breaker sizing. Higher HP and more amps from the motor.

California 😂😂
start buying pressure switches
Huh
