I can hear my old (deceased) friend and machinist mentor, Dennis, plain as day:
"The hardest thing you have to learn is something I can't teach you. You have to learn to judge when good enough, really is good enough. Every job you take on requires you to do your best, but not every job requires your best work....there's a subtle difference there, but it's an important difference nonetheless. Some fellows never pick up on it. Don't spend a week redesigning a paper clip when the old version holds your notes together just fine"
Your philosophy has served me well, Dennis. Thanks
"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.

I run my pump 24/7 for the summer months and switch to a smaller compressor in the winter and in its current enclosure (aprox. 2'x2'x10")in the middle of summer the pump gets extremely hot and loses pressure. The current enclosure has a 4" grate for the inlet and a 50 cfm blower for the exhaust. My new enclosure will be about 3'x2'x2' with 2" thick walls with 1 1/2" foam to cut down on noise. My thought is to put an exhaust fan up high and in the opposite corner down low have a vent to draw air in. Was looking at the 6" fan on the Saginaw website, thinking getting the shroud for it to cut down compressor noise.

The SCE-CF6 comes from the factory set up for how you want to use it and it fit's nicely behind the 6" rain hood. The 6" fan/filter kit is a push only, which is actually designed for outdoor use with the 6" rain hood. Don't get the Type 12 fan. Although they can be reversed, CFM is lower and they are not really for outdoor stuff.

Your philosophy has served me well, Dennis. Thanks Hey Spark, if I bring my mower to your shop, am I going to get the philosophy bill with something that may only be good enough for the day, depending if you think it's rated high enough for your best work, or is my mower going to kick butt when you are done with it? That's what anyone would want!

Wise man, that Dennis.

Here is some pics of my enclosure. I have the fan venting out the bottom through the box and the intake coming in through the box to cut down on noise. The box is 1 1/2" foam. I think this weekend I may change the intake vent from a 4"to a 6". The fan is a 6" 290cfm from Vertex and I think the 4" intake is a little restrictive the air is really sucking in.

Nice! Soldered joints and copper pipe? Fancy!
