Try loosening the nut. If it gets so loose the spring is jiggling around, or the nut comes off, and it still won’t turn off at lower pressures, then you probably have a damaged pressure switch.

Possibly shot or the springs are so cranked down that the contacts can’t disengage. Try loosening both springs’ nuts until there’s only a tiny bit of compression (just enough to prevent them from rattling around) and then see if the cutoff lever works.

LOL, in due time. I decided to go back to school, because Work was paying for every single penny of it… so how could I not‽ The unfortunate consequence of this is, I have virtually no free time after general life responsibilities, and, you know, rest.

@@MountainMikeNM lol i hear ya. i subscribed and i'll be looking for that part 4 whenever it comes out. cheers mate!

Thanks for the subscribe!

Hey there, thanks for the question and sorry I somehow missed this. Depending on your budget and shop space, I definitely think the round column mills are immensely useful. Mine is set up with a three axis DRO with the Z on the Quill, similar to what you are thinking. I am able to make some nice parts with it. The biggest challenge I have is adjusting the Z height for different length tooling. For example, switching from an end mill in a collet to a large drill in a chuck would require moving the head up and down. There are tricks for maintaining your zero position while moving the head, but none of them are perfect, and all of them are moderately frustrating. Also changing belts to adjust the spindle speed gets old. All of this said, considering you can get a used one for sometimes as low as a few hundred dollars, you really can’t go wrong. But, and this is a big one, if you have the space and the budget, a smaller Bridgeport clone, say with a 36 inch table, barely takes up more of a footprint on your shop floor.

@@MountainMikeNM Hey thanks for the reply, it will be a little while before I get one but definitely be leaning to the round column, thanks again.

Three-axis** DRO (stupid auto correct)

Lot of travel capacity for the money.

Yeah and machining mistakes (or rather shop mistakes,) can create life which gets in the way of machining fun 😭 🏥. Debating whether or not I should make a dedicated video or just speak to it whenever I’m able to release another one.

I know the pain of "mistakes" I would di vids as and when I have done one and am slowly working on the next one. Too many you tubers just churn stuff out

You need go watch the original movie from 1987. This is an attempt to replicate the head tracking targeting system of the creature’s plasma caster cannon.

Sorry I missed this. Is it a newer or older motor? If new, do you have the correct thickness of supply wire? Running too light of wire to a heavy draw can cause coils to overheat. Otherwise look for cooling/airflow problems or mechanical resistance in the system to start.

Hi! Based on what you're describing it sounds like you may have a faulty pressure switch. They can wear out. You could also have some kind of obstruction in the air line leading from the tank to the pressure switch, like a big flake of rust. Those are my best guesses without seeing it myself.

@@MountainMikeNM Thank you. I need to take a look at it. I Let you know later

Obrigada. Quando eu finalmente implementar o código de trabalho, farei um tutorial passo a passo. Confira os outros vídeos nesta playlist para ver outros progressos.

That seems pretty high - like it's meant for a different range. Are you sure your compressor isn't designed to run at a higher pressure? For example, some 2-stage compressors can go as high as 250psi if I recall. If this is the case, you would want to use a regulator to drop the outgoing pressure. If it should definitely be lower, turning counter-clockwise might work. But generally the switches are designed for a certain pressure range and the adjustment is for fine tuning. Another thing you could try doing is to measure pressures with a different gage to make sure the one on your compressor is accurate.

@@MountainMikeNM thanks for the help, i think i did a mistake and bought the wrong pressure switch. the original broke so i ordered one and that one has the higher cut off. stock one was cut in @100 and out @135. it might be to much to turn and wont work, just going to buy a new switch.thank you

Heck yeah, my friend! Glad it was helpful.

I sold IR compressor for years and you are actually incorrect! starting up on a compressor is one of the hardest things on the compressor. It should be and 175! they wider the start stop gap the better. The compressor is under a stead load when running and cycles less there for less stress on the motor and compressor head.

I may consider commissions once I get the full build working consistently and build up any kind of mounting equipment. Stay tuned!

@@MountainMikeNM Ok will do THANKS

You’re welcome and thanks for the comment. Hopefully my upcoming videos will help you even further.

Something like this? i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd499/ozstoc/winddeflectors.jpg That looks like it could be a fun challenge to model. Hrm‽

@@MountainMikeNM Im very interested, i have a Ender 5 Pro but i cant find a model of this Parts. There are some wind deflectors for the legs too. I think there is a market for just the modelfiles and a market for high quality prints ready to ship. I would purchase the modelfiles because shipping to germany is a bit expensive xD

@@MountainMikeNM Hi, did someone found a 3d model to print ?

Care to elaborate?

@@MountainMikeNM more pressure more better

@@that240guysx Meh, I work in a shop and 120 is good enough

I have the same unit, I bought a tire machine and it has issues and only works at 1:35 down to 130, what is the highest that pressure switch can handle assuming I have the same one?

Thank you for the kind comment. Ups and downs, my friend. Generally work keeps me so busy I want to get away from the computer, but COVID is keeping me at home a bit more these days.

Great point, now that you mention it, it did have a masking-tape type texture. It's the running theory for now.

It wasn't possible with that particular motion controller. I got some new hardware sitting in a drawer, and I have some footage explaining the technical challenges, but I haven't edited it for upload. That project is extremely time intensive, so it got put on the back burner until my job slows down a bit (if it ever slows down again.)
