Rebuilding an old 12cfm 4 stage davey air compressor. It's 4,500 psi rated but they ran at 3,700psi most of the time. The military used these things to refill aircraft landing gear with nitrogen.
The rebuild went pretty smooth, it weighs 350lbs so moving it around was tricky but other than that no real issues. The pistons were really neat and the crankshaft had one common lobe.
It needs an 18 hp engine to run it and I don't have 3 phase electricity so gas/diesel powered it is.
A cooler and oil filter go in line between each compression stage, which gets tricky at 4000psi (plus all the other stuff)
The main project video should be out within a month or so but it's hard to know for sure cause im still building it

4000 psi is more than enough to kill or cause extreme damage. literally there is a car's weight every square inch and a ton of volume that really wants to get out. Air rifles use less pressure and take down bison. hydrostatic test everything and take extreme care with this stuff
