Hi Stuart,
I was looking at an SGS compressor. What capacity is this? And how noisy is it?

hi
it’s a 50 x litre and believe the noise level is around 97db, put it in the box to make it easier to move around,
i intend to fit a section of wood around the edge in order i can fit a lid on it , however will remove the lid when in use due to cooling , if i did fit the lid when in use i would have to fit at least multiple fans along with venting the air inlet to outside of the box
there is a water drain on the bottom of the tank to which i’m going to extend to outside of the box, install a lever valve in order i can drain the water off after every use, see it’s better to drain when the tank is full so the compressed air pushes any remaining water out
if u have a look on u tube there are a lot of videos where people have built boxes etc , but of course just need to ensure it can still breath along with allowances to keep cool
i also bought a combined water trap /oiler for it as per picture , but with the oiler u have to be careful because when u inflate a tyre etc or blow off the brakes u will get oil out of the hose
if the compressor has a twin outlet best to always keep one that doesn’t incorporate any oiler so it’s free from any contamination of oil
this is my first compressor and still learning , the guys here are extremely knowledgeable and very helpful
will post up some more pics as i progress with it,
hope that helps a little
