View Full Version : Shopsmith Air compressor
I am new to this forum and have been a Shopsmith owner for 25+ years. I recently purchased a Shopsmith Air compressor and I am looking to see if anyone has a manual I can get a copy of. I'm not even sure I am posting this request in the right place on this website. Thanks for any help!

Would love to see a picture of your compressor. If anyone out there has a manual I'm sure they will respond.

Ed-
I'm not very good with this computer stuff but I think I have 2 pictures of the SS Air Compressor attached here.

Stew, you posted in the right place and your pictures of the compressor are excellent.
It is good to have you onboard as a new member. I hope we hear from you regularly. Unfortunately I have nothing to tell you about the compressor. I have never owned one. In your pictures, though, it looks as though you have a nice clean unit. Hope it works good.
Until you find instructions to the contrary, I would operate it at a very low speed.
My speed chart for finishing says
Internal Mix.... C
External Mix.... B
You might want to do a search here, there was another thread about this.

I bought one of these recently. No manual. I called Shopsmith and they sent me a a xeroxed copy of the manual. It arrived in a couple of days. I was really impressed that they did this and did this so quickly.

Randy,
Is there any way you can scan your copy and post it as a jpeg or PDF file? There may be more people looking for this and it would sure save them a lot of time and effort.

That compressor was made by Campbell Hausfeld. They sold the same unit under that name. It just came with a motor. They have manuals in PDF at CHpower.com but you need their model number.
