I agree with John stay away from IR like stated they been living off of a name. What do you guys suggest? One of these? Why? Have a different suggestion altogether? It is more expensive but as long as it's under about $800 tops it shouldn't matter to 'the boss' so that's not much of a concern of mine. Between these two machines and to my untrained eye the Quincy seems like it would be the better choice with it's larger tank and higher CFM rating. I understand that neither of these is of the 'good' lines from either IR or Quincy and are basically import machines though from what I understand the Quincy seems to be largely built in the USA (or at least assembled here). I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to air compressors but these both seem like they would fit the bill. Ingersoll Rand Garage Mate Model# P1.5IU-A9 Northern Tool) Given the specs I've been asked to work within I've come up with two possible choices: They want an mobile vertical one as there is already a spot on the truck for it. They need one that can provide 4.5CFM 90PSI) for for up to 10 minutes at a time with only maybe 2-3 cycles like this per hour at most. This is for our guys to use on the jobsite, specifically ones with 120v power only and a gas powered one is not an option. ↳ Pen Markers, Remote Controls, Drawing Tablets, etc.Hey guys, 'the boss' has tasked me with picking out a new air compressor and I could use some advice if you can give it.↳ Fab Tables, Grind Stations, Material Storage & Handling.↳ Water Tables, Ventilation, Air Handling.↳ Air Dryers, Air Filters, Air Compressors, Etc.↳ Metal Bending, Rolling, Notching, Drilling, Saw Cutting.↳ Mig Welders, Tig Welders, Spot Welders.↳ EasyScriber for Hypertherm, Thermal Dynamics, Razorweld, Esab.↳ EasyScriber Drag Style Scriber for Hypertherm.↳ Steel F/X Your Metal Patina & Dye Connection.↳ Quick & Helpful CorelDRAW Tutorial Videos.↳ DIY Plasma Table & Accessory Discussion Forum.↳ RazorWeld, Everlast, & All Other Plasma Cutters.↳ Thermal Dynamics / Esab Plasma Cutters.↳ Displaying the Powermax 65 85 Service Screen.↳ Powermax 65 & 85 Common Fault Code, Diagnotics, & Troubleshooting Forum.↳ Powermax Fault Code, Diagnostics, & Troubleshooting Forums.↳ Powermax SYNC 65, 85, 105 Cut Speed Charts.↳ Pricing, Advertising, & Marketing Your Products Forum.↳ Hypertherm's Tips to Troubleshoot Cut Angularity.↳ Hypertherm's 10 Common Plasma Cutting Mistakes.↳ Hypertherm's Basic Tips to Improve Cut Quality.↳ CNC Plasma Cutter Project Picture Gallery.↳ DXF Art - DXF Clip Art File Sharing Forum.DXF DESIGN & PROJECT PICTURE SHARING FORUMS.↳ Contributing Membership Registration or Renewal.WELCOME CENTER, GOOD INFO & MEET OUR SPONSORS.I have 1 warranty kit that will sit for a while at my rate of use. I think they recommend 100hr change intervals. I installed an hour meter before i ever started it up and I'm only at 5.5 hours 4 months later. Iwasn't aware you had to change it yearly for the warranty, i thought you just did it by his run. But with such light usage it really hurts to cough up the $80.00 every year for the maintenance kit. After 5 years I'll have enough oil left over from all the maintenance kits to last me another 5 years. I only run the compressor when I'm in the shop (usually on weekends). I only change the oil according to the recommended hours of operation in the manual (I added an hour meter to the compressor when I first installed it) so I only change it about once a year. But not much you can do if you want to keep your 5 year warranty going the full five years. I think this is a huge rip off by Quincy and an even bigger rip off if you compare the price of their Quin Cip oil to other equivalent oils. When I first purchased the compressor I asked the dealer why the maintenance kit was so expensive he said it was because it extends your warranty. He said let me check your account, and came back and said you're right my bad, and sold me the maintenance kit. I told him that they told me in order to keep the 5 year warranty I had to buy the maintenance kit. He said I could purchase the Quincy oil and filters separately a lot cheaper. The new guy at the Quincy dealer at first brought out 2 quarts of Quincy oil and the filter and I told him that in the past they always sold me the maintenance kit. Just picked up my third maintenance kit for $80.00. QT54 has been a great compressor, kind of noisy though.
