If buying a bigger compressor and it's rated at 2.2kw and you do the ohms law calculation on it it will seem fine. Mine (tuxing rated at 2. 2kw)has such high locked rotor amp draw that a 30a 115 circuit won't run it.

This is true. I use nema 650 to something sketchy for my welder too. I just made a short adapter cord. I don't know what the electrical prowess of those here is, or a Esa to parts

If you can be safe with hpa, you can be safe with electricity. If theres no clothes dryer or anything that needs it as is, you could retrofit the outlet or retrofit the cord on the compressor. It's 3 or 4 contact screws to do either and it's dead simple and I bet you can get it the way you...

If you have 220, use 220. Motors tend to last longer and start easier. The startup current is split between "two legs". It just does better, without getting into too much electrical theory. If you have the outlets, i suggest it highly.

If you're a volume shooter, get something big that is totally comfortable filling an scba. I went thru 3 yong hengs, 2 slow speed shoebox knockoffs, then spend 1700 on a tuxing scuba pump and it's been worth every penny and the compressors I killed wouldve bought the big dog. My only advice...

It's bad. 115v is basically unusable for most people. I'm likely to convert it to a cheap gasoline engine and have the auto stop cut the engines ignition.

It's a 1400 dollar dive compressor clone. Ali express tuxing store. I wasn't dropping 5k on a Bauer, which I should've for longevity of parts support. But that's a big price difference from making parts or using piston rings from cars on it to fix it, which I could do.

Instead of modifying I bit the bullet at bought a 4 cylinder tuxing. No complaints other than their 2.2kw draw rating. It needs a dedicated 30a with a fresh breaker or 40a circuit realistically. Shoulda bought gas powered, and can convert but it came with the air processors op used essentially.

Nice to make your acquaintance, i too am one those. From modifying fx parts to polishing turds like the aea hp ss into something reliable.

I'm not buying much these days. I tend to buy 1k or 1500 bulk like you linked and sit on them. The patriot javelins are my preference but hybrids showed theyd shoot from anything that could send them 700 fps or faster. If the choke wasn't too crazy like my 25 mrods was. Thanks for the link.

"because I can" is the best answer. It was a project. Projects don't need to make sense to the majority of people.

Id like to bring up twist rate too. With the aerodynamically wonky face on it, i wonder if spinning them faster would be of any aid? But, the expensive fx hybrids answer that issue if you can send them. Maybe I will check back and give my results at 930 fps.

Great advice, i had to stumble on this and it was my 2nd sticking point. The other is the lrf has its own reticle off to the side and ranging is not the center of the crosshairs. Makes sense since the lrf is offset on the unit anyhow. Third was how I got this thread. Load your ballistics...

Best advice for this unit is try long presses and multi presses and see what you get. There's no real manual of use to speak of yet. Eventually the programming starts to reveal itself and make sense. There's a learning curve but don't give up.

I don't remember what I did but I had my lrf get stuck on at one point, if that's what you're after. Probably held the button too long.
