Help with a Compressor problem...
As a relative metalwork "virgin" I'm seeking assistance in Perth WA...
The story so far...
Thought my Ryobi Airwave compressor could do with a second Nitto Outlet. When I screwed it in the cheapass Aluminium casting split.
Excellent chance to upgrade I thought...
Mapped out how I could swap all the pieces over to brass fittings...
But, when attempting to unscrew fron the tank, the aluminium snapped, flush with the steel take off, due to the thread sealant used, I'm pretty confident...so now I have a problem.
Thoughts are that I can drill out most of the aluminium with the appropriate drill and the use a tap (20mm I'm pretty sure) to clean out the threads...but not having done before...can anyone here with more experience assist?
