SpudFiles

DUDES, today from 4pm a woman from our local newpaper is coming to my workshop to do a article of me and my knifemaking im thinking what is she going to say about the spudgun hanging from my wall

Nice, good luck! The exposure will do your business good

Thats the point my friend

BTW this computer is a nice touch to my workshop, now i can forge and hang around in SF at the same time

I have ~600 bucks accumulated from YouTube ads, maybe I'll use that to buy a lathe

O man you've got to be joking... youtube can pay for your spudguning expenses

Can you explain how that works?

Yeah when people click the ads displayed on my video by google, I get payed. It doesn't go by view count, though the view count is proportional to how much I earn. I started to get ads before my partnership on my popular video. So every day I earn a few bucks. Some days I've earned 8 or 9.

Every night there are about 50 new posts here, but when I checked this morning there were only 4

But you also have to have a good amount of views to be accepted to the partnership program.

Yeah true also subscribers has to do with your acceptance to the program, but I only have like... 300 I think.

New topic: Can pop off valves for compressors wear out? I got a pressure switch and the pop off is going off before the pressure switch shuts the compressor off. So I think it's worn out. The pressure switch is brand new.

maybe in full auto, i doubt it is worn out probably. just not set right just tightened it real good bring the compressor to max or where you want it to pop then slowly undo it till it pops the tighten the lock nut and test. thats if its a adjustable pop off.

Sounds more likely that the pressure switch is not cutting at the correct pressure, if it was fine before - or your previous pressure switch was set too low.

The new pressure switch is not properly adjusted.

The safety valve is doing it's job and preventing overpressure.

If in a air compressor they more so get clogged with condensation crude then wear out. I've seen them open and not close all the way because of crap getting into the sealing surfaces. They rarely "pop off" anyway. On my air compressor it only happens when the temp is like 30F or lower, the breaker normally trips before the valve pops.

Haha actually guys jrrdw is right. It was popping low. We took off the pop off and put a gauge, and the pressure switch kicked of exactly at 145 psi. Right where it was supposed to. The pop off was done for. We were only using it for a bleed valve though so we put a ball valve in place and we can check the pressure by putting the gauge in a little and opening the ball valve. This isn't an ordinary compressor though, if you're thinking the setup is stupid. Its for a train horn 8)

I have a pop off set on my fridgy at 650ish psi its placed right above a second on/off switch so if it was to pop it will flick it off as well.

I put it in because I forgot i was filling the my semi's main tank once and it just keep on filling till it would pop and vent then fill again for a good 1.5 hours.

A check valve in your fill line seems like a good idea...would prevent venting ALL the air out if the relief valve opens.
