Just a quick question as Im on my way out the door, I have a Craftsman model No 919.165610

Cant seem to get a steady enough pressure to run a grinder or DA, anyone messed with this variety compressor and is it worth me messing with any longer. Maybe I just need to keep the tank and get a different compressor.

I want to be able to do most anything I want to do at home including run a sandblaster again.

I dont mind putting some money into it to get it where it needs to be but maybe there is nothing than can help this thing do what I want it to do and I dont want to piss away any more money.

Any suggestion welcome

I had the same problem with my Husky oil less and all I did was adjust the regulator switches. turn the screw slowly to set the max pressure off switch and do the same for the min press on switch. It takes some time since you need to bleed it off several times and let it restart to get the right settings. I found the video on the internet showing how to do it. If I can find it again I will post it.

That would be a good video to see and thanks, I have the comp. on Craiglist now but no bites so I guess my hopes of recouping some of my money for the new one are diminishing at this point.

I guess it may end up being a keeper like it or not so may have to find another use for it

Here is the video I used --- the husky I bought at HD  is so similar you'd think they were made by the same company. Probably were LOL

Mine is rated at 150 PSI so I just followed  the same procedure until I reached the goal.  Over 5 months ago and have not had another problem, even with the high vibration of an oil less.

BTW I use a die grinder and a 4" cutoff wheel all the time with mine -- no problem just a little long on recovery time --- blaster no WAY I'd have too much time to drink beer while waiting for recovery of pressure.

Thanks, Ill check that out

The white PVC pipeing has to go first, it is NOT rated 150 psi, and it WILL turn into shrapnel and kill everything standing within 30 feet ;P

Just saying.....
