I am said friend!
I used cheap winch motor (ramsey that would spin 7k RPM) and the york
Designed a really nice bracket in solid works, I built the bracket at work on the mill, looked pro! Got the coupler from MMC to run it direct drive, bolted it all together and it ran like a sowing machine! Except that the jumper cables I was using to power it were glowing red hot...... I can't remember how many amps it drew, but it was a metric
ton. I don't think that the thing would even spin at 90 PSI.
Bottom line is, the motor I used (and I suspect many winch motors) depend on the gearing of the winch to make the torque.
Here is what I will do. I will scrap it back together and make a new thread JUST about my compressor build. I have more ideas about how to do this, but haven't had time to lay them out. Also, I lost ALL of my drawings for the damn thing when I sold my old laptop. Dumbass here didn't remember to save to the new comp!
