He must have Draft horses.  I only get 6 cfm at 90 psi out
of my 2hp Sears.

Maybe if I put on a bigger pulley and add some pedals ...
Maybe the heading horse would like some exercise ... I could
hook it to the hot walker, if I had a hot walker ... I could
make a hot walker if I had a place to put one .,. maybe with
cnc ... if Peter has cnc why does he need a compressor?  cnc
can do *Everything* ... even make sockets ... I need an
asprin!

    Through the miracle of advertising...<g>...modern  compressors are
rated at stall current instead of running current. That Sears 6.5 HP
motor won't actually generate that many horsepower - but it WILL draw
the amperage that would give that much horsepower....right before it
burns up.

I could whip one up for you on the CNC if you have a block of asprin.

Yeah, I know. But 9 at 90 with 2hp?? I realize my motor is 240 at 15 amps
and that makes roughly 4.8hp before losses. They must be extremely healthy
horses for only two of em to give 9cfm at 90psi.
