Great video of complete cleaning and replacing the whole arm to the blade holder. Is there a way to replace just the holder part. Tried to pop just the pin but it must be a hell of a press fit.

shot in the dark here but what size is the soldered in input fuse .. mine blew and having a hard time tracking down info

Hi my name is Stuart I sell Caswell products in the UK from my company Surface Monkey Limited I love this video !!! I have found endless emails of problems when it comes to plating and all the videos generally show how there homemade products come out looking amazing bla bla bla but never the problems that everyone has I shall be definitely sharing this video a lot going forward. well done and thank you.

Did you ever plate out the aluminum contamination in your solution? It's been 5 years. Update?

Nice gun silencer you have. Lol good job!

Nuts and bolts and around the flange?

does sealing up with a sealant make much difference?

I would have preferred you to have ground one of the fan blades down to balance the fan wheel, it had not been so obvious

i just finished putting the exact same filter on my compressor spent about 35.00 and it was 74 decibels before with old filter and with the new 1 it read the same so it was a waste of time and $$$$

I'd never seen this before, yet I just knew someone had done something like this. I came up with this nearly exact idea independently since I run this thing in the basement, where I live and it is god aweful loud- I've built an enclosure for it and put it behind a tiny wall which has already made a huge difference (it is well ventilated with an air intake with a mini box fan and an exhaust for the enclosure so it stays nice and cool inside). Next is to run the intake out the side of the House so the intake pulls air from outside which should eliminate a lot of sound- then I was going to do this exact thing with the exhaust. I'm glad to see someone has done it and that it works so well! Thanks for doing the testing for me, I feel a lot more confident now!

Well done. As a professional inventor, I give you high marks here. I always tell people, do simple things simply. Simply trying something first, see what happens really works well in these cases.

What about the heat coming from the compressor head???

3 thumbs up, absolutely the best video I've seen on here.😲

Great video. I'd be worried, though, about particles of the foam going into the compressor motor. Consider wrapping air-filter fabric or 100% cheese cloth around the hardware cloth. Edit: I guess I should have read the first pinned comment - but rather than just checking it on a schedule, the filter fabric or cheese cloth, I think, is better.

I wouldn't use the plywood though but I would use drywall are particle board where they're more dense

Hey mine just failed. I don't have any voltage on the secondary side of the BCK2801 transformer. Is the transformer at fault or could a component connected to it be the cause? Every pin on the primary side of the transformer has 172v. On the secondary side they are 0.5v. I tested all the electrolytics and the leaded diodes and caps. All fine.Thanks

Dont like to hear silicon or foam possibly contsining silicon involved in intake if you plan on painting. For what its worth

The video was very helpful. When I got to putting the black front cover I had to cut out a small section of plastic to fit the new blade holder. My old blade holder was smaller. Seeing the hole in the end of the cover showed me the difference between our covers. It was easily to cut out with a dremel making room to slide the blade lock through all the way. I can post a pic if you want..

I like this except this type of foam deteriorates and will clog the air compressor pump after about 5 years. So keep a close eye on the foam, and possibly put a fiberglass filter between the tube and the foam. I think I'm going to make one out of a metal can I have in the shop. Thanks for the nice video.

I have read every thing I could find and the one thing that comes up as a problem the most is contamination the first thing I was thinking when when you put the pipe in the nickel was that the alum on the inside of the pipe was going to ruin your solution I’m getting ready to do some nickel plating myself so I am nervous about messing up lol

such a brilliant simple idea....will have a look at mine and see what i can do. just wondering if you lined the interior of the bucket with a rubber mat whether that would help to dampen the vibration and noise further?

My problem was the solution was going cloudy and the parts were going black and green but not coating with nickel, this was after polishing, washing with brake cleaner, then acetone. I changed back solutions from shop bought nickel acetate, to my own white vinegar, and pickling salts electrolyte, then washed the parts in Hydrochloric acid 15% 5v 2amps and it's plating like a champ. (I added a capful of Ethylene Glycol too) I added 500ml of Lactic acid to my gallon of electrolyte too. Someone suggested it somewhere, doesn't seem to have done any harm

Hello Man, I have a 20V Dewalt Newer Style and I Beat it up pretty bad. Anyway, in place but it is wobbling from left to right like rotating freely. Do you know what I should look at to try and tighten up any bolts or fix it thank you sir.

Fantastic ‘how to’ video. Thanks for the help!

We need an update!

I like this a lot, . . . im thinking of using a cooler i have laying around and run a hose from the intake to the cooler on the floor

I admire the slow, careful control you use when dealing with electric & electronic components. Can't be too careful or you'll drop something or break something.

All this would be gratuitous if you just tested the wire ends for volts. Most people would just replace the gas valve. You had to break it to fix it. I thought you were careful. O well. Whatever works!

did you notice the hole in one of the capacitors?

Can I just take a hose from the intake and run it to outside my garage to quiet it down?

A messy work space indicates that something is actually being done........

DO NOT repair any gas valves. If the electrical connections are faulty get a new gas valve, If it look's like it has been exposed to water get a new gas valve. I don't know what is wrong with this guy but never repair a gas valve to save a couple of dollars.

Is there a way to repair the valve if the valve is stuck? So mechanically if the open and close failed to happen, with 24v and a good solenoid, but no action inside the valve. This is not currently happening, just curious if that level could be repaired.

Thanks for the video! I took my valve apart and all 3 connections were broken, after i resolderd everything was good to go👍

Until I saw you at the end, I imagined a white bearded wizard like old person talking with relaxing voice, then totally surprised to see a young man is the source of that wisdom.

I have two of these both not working. Both failed almost exactly the same way. I was working in my attic and left it there during the week as I had all my tools there and the next weekend it didn't work. Ryobi replaced it once and it did it again. I've been through both of them. One has a circuit board with the r71 and r50 resistors talked about in another P117 repair video. I went through one of them and the high voltage header has 300+v but that is where the voltage stops. There's no voltage on the 2nd header. I've tried to check the 2nd header areas to see if I can find where there's voltage on the high side and none on the 2nd side. I can't find anything nor any evidence of burn or discoloring. I'd love some ideas.

to be more believable use a db instrument next time, aircompressors are noizy no matter what...build a shed outside, that works

👍

I made a little enclosed nook outside my shop I can’t hear anything but I understand that some people can’t do what I did great idea though 👍😊

What about actually just using a muffler or like one of those intake air ventilation charcoal canisters that they use for growing weed and stuff they have a big cell phone like that I believe too very dense very heavy very heavy probably not practical

I found this same issue after some diagnosis and troubleshooting. Moving the harness around would cause the solenoids to click. After reflowing the solder joints and while letting the furnace cycle, I found your video confirming this failure point. Thanks for sharing!

If you are concerned about the foam degrading, wrap the wire cage with Scotch Brite pads to catch the little bits before it gets ingested into the compressor. It is porous enough to let air to pass through, yet catch debris

So the compressor industry seems to be owned by the hearing aid industry. No reason such a simple solution was never universal.

Does it make a difference which kind of bird feed it is? Maybe a parrot feed bucket is a little louder? 🤔 Either way, great idea and excellent execution of a minimum viable product😉

This looks great. I think I'll be adding some mosquito mesh on the outside of the cage because i'm worried about some of the foam getting sucked on and i doubt my shitty chinese compressor can handle sucking debris

This is not good at all it adds a lot more restriction to the suction side which increases the heat of your compressor just deal with the fucking noise and be done with it

I see the wood support being good, but I would have left the lid skelotonized, and no center opening straight through. Although much air is diffused in and out of the foam, pulling all or through as such would be quiter, but risk sucking in foam

Another thing you can do is to put 1/2” rubber pads under the feet. That too removes a lot of noise. 👍🙋‍♂️🖖🏻

I have a compressor with a rectangular intake, that comes out the side, not the top. 60 gallon, 230 volt, 7 hp, 12.3cfm@40psi / 10.3cfm@90psi. It is loud.

I'm sorry but there seems to be something wrong with my phone, it won't play the start of your video where it shows how loud it was with the original silencer in place and the Audiometer readings, before and after. Guess I'll never know...
