I swear by a Kaeser air compressor, I've got a little 1.5hp portable unit I use ALL the time. I love that thing, it's been rode hard and put away wet but is still kicking. Loud as all-get-out, but has never let me down. Best $175 I ever spent. I bought it from a yard sale years ago and don't know how long they had it before me, but I haven't had that first problem with it.

Great choice. I maintained a 25 hp and a 40 hp Kaeser for 25 years. Tough as nails. Maintenance is key to making them last. I love the engineering of Kaeser. They are absolutely anal about tolerances in their builds. Exactly what you want!

That pipe all around the perimeter on top of the office seems to have made putting stuff up there a little more challenging.

Now that you have a 'safety railing' around the outer edges of the office roof, you can run a robotic vacuum cleaner up there to prevent the typical dust buildup if you care.

Hi Adam, very nice compressor and plumbing. I would like to share my experience with piping. I had a shop lay out like yours with the office inside, I also laid the air line along the top edge of the office. The problem I had later was I could not slide a pallet on to top office, also when using a ladder I had to be very careful not to trip over the plumbing. So I ended up moving the piping along the outside wall to keep the top deck open. I enjoy watching and learning tips from you, thank you for your time.

I installed one of those compressors on a truck years back, loved the quietness with the sound enclosure

So exciting to see your new shop come together! Looking forward to seeing all your machines churning out work pieces.

That's great. Congrats. The KAESER head quarter is super close to where i was born and raised in Germany. My uncle works there as an electrician. Enjoy the German perfectionism.

I held a Journeyman Gasfitter card for 25 years and must say that the piping job looks excellent! Very nicely done. good to see craftsmanship these days

They make great stuff, we had a much larger version in an medical electronics facility I worked at, I don’t think we ever had a lack of air, always thought that blue tube just looked amazing… I believe there were 6 of one of their larger compressors tied together running probably 2 miles of pipe, was a really impressive setup for general use…

I've been working with Kaeser products for over 5 years now. Great machines!

One of my customers has three big Kaeser compressors and dryers, one for each of the CNC machine clusters and the third for the final assembly and finishing lines. Nice compressors.

Great to see the air system installed even with the temp compressor now waiting for all the various machines and systems to be completed.

Totally just WOW... Smart piping system & hardly any noise air compressor WOW & AWESOME. Can't wait to see the whole shop running & making chips fly 👏👊👏

Adam is having a new toy. Congratulations. Enjoy it.

EXCELLENT CHOICE!!!! I purchased same unit because of quietness, reliability, scew pump and delivery of clean air. 20 to 30% more expensive compare to others. Used for air feed for fuel cell and operating high end tools/equipment.

Killer air system. Seems all so technical, but when it WORKS, you never have to think about it again. Just connect where and when you need. That's the beauty of a well designed air system. What this looks like it very much is. 1" that's some massive delivery. and SO QUEIT! o0 What a dream. This isn't even the final form either? I didn't know about this technology. This is amazing.

I feel excited for you! Can only imagine knowing your plans are coming together above and beyond! 👏 congrats Adam

I really love these screw type compressors... with a good drier that's the way to go. If you want to paint and use a lot of air, esp. with several people at the shop (which may not be your concern) usually the air distribution hose needs to be quite large, say 1" internal diameter or more, so that one does not pull all the air from the others as there is quite a significant pressure drop along smaller hoses...

you should consider putting the compressor up next to the tank.... looks like a good spot for it floor space is precious

Kaeser's original smartpipe was made by Transair. The Smartpipe+ line is made by Eqofluids. I perfer the Eqofluids system. It tends to have fewer issues with leaks. The pipes are different sizes and not cross compatible.

I think this is the 3rd flavor of smart pipe Ive come across now. Shop I recently left had got it for the building the renovated and man its so much faster, lighter, and easier to deal with compared to cast pipe. Don't need to take bust out the monster rigid pipe threader and don't need 2 guys for most of it. Just a portaband, tape measure, some chamfering tools and your drill.

Hey Adam great looking system ànd will work for years for you 👍 Maybe it's just the video but looks to me like you should have put that in one of the corners. To me it looks like it will be it the way of the CNC when you get ready to start running that as well . Great Video 👍👍👍

It’s a great system and I agree the placement in my opinion was not the best.

The compressor appears to impede good work flow in that bay. Hope the actual one is smaller. Not sure what the plan is (in the end) but I would think the compressor would have been better in the corner where the large fan is currently located with the tank located immediately above. (Use some dead tree carcass to build a stand above the compressor). Fly a pipe over the garage door to get to the right side (looking out at the garage door.

That's a nice and quiet air compressor. Years ago I worked for an outfit that made generator skids. One time we got an Atlas-Copco (SP?) air compressor in with a Deutz diesel . A twin screw unit. We fired her up and there was a 3 or 4 inch valve on it. When that was opened it blew air 100 feet across the lot. I walked into the air stream 30 or 40 feet away and the air blast almost kicked my legs from out under me.

We have 2 40hp Kaeser compressors and 3 large vacuums. We run the compressors cycling between the 2 every other day. Keep up with the yearly service and they will last for decades one of our vacuums is from 2001 and has been trouble free

That is a super air system, it's quiet and functional. I however precieve a potential problem. The air line you have run around the office should of been installed on the vertical surface and not on the top. The reason I feel this is important is because if you were wanting to use the top of the offices as a storage or some other use the piping is in danger of being disturbed or damaged. Just a thought...

It's gonna be a long wait. This is a youtube studio, not a job shop.

Vane/roots type air compressors have become some of the best kind of air compressors you can use in an indoor environment where sound output is a concern. Piston type air compressors have their place, but the rotary air compressors are just overall a better option when you have to have the air compressor inside a confined space.

Doesn't look like you're going to have much room at the end of your lathe.

Man that is fantastic Adam sounds like a window fan. You can hear yourself think. I really look forward to your video

The motor keeps running for a bit for 2 reasons. It is more energy efficient for it to idle a little while rather than stop and immediately restart. also the oil pressure is dictated by the air pressure in the separator tank. If the unit shuts off with 100 psi in the separator tank some oil will come out of the air filter. Idle pressure is 15-18 psi.

I have an Aircenter 7.5 at my shop. Has been running great for 5 years. Only thing worth knowing is if it starts to vibrate more than it should it might have got a build up of dust in the fan that cools the system. Ours Is in the back of our welding shop and I pull off the fan and clean it out every couple of months.

At the beginning of the video (or if you refresh the page mid stream) you'll notice in the upper left 'includes paid promotion'. A good number of the large ticket item videos (the Miltonic's lathe, Big Ass Fan, AC units, etc) are all paid promotions in some capacity. Adam is rather nebulas on the details (if they were provided at no cost) but I think it is safe to assume they are either free, or at a very reduced cost in exchange for exposer on his channel. I imagen these type of deals are good for the manufacturer as they can give him something with a sticker price of $6K and only be out what it costs to manufacture (say $3K). He's clearly not machining enough parts to pay for any of this stuff, at least at the moment, and has transitioned into a content creator more so than solely a machining channel. Any items a content creator may receive as compensation in exchange for a review or exposer does have to be claimed as income for tax purposes. I'm not sure how that would work if part of the deal is that Miltonic's sells him a $50K lathe for $5K so he doesn't have to treat that $50K lathe as income and then pay tax on it.
