    I think need4reebs was the one I got the idea from so he should get the credit.

    Not surprising !

    Need4reebs has one idea per minute..... When he is tired ! Usually it's 2 per minute !

    Thanks, Ben !

    But I'm not sure it would look so nice with a short frame.
    When I look at your pic of the lpr with your vert frame, I think it would be nicer with a 90 screwed at the bottom than it would look with a straight macro inside the lpr and the macro going out of it.

    But it's just a personnal opinion about the "look", and I'm sure you do the maximum to get the best part possible.
    I thought the same thing in relationship to the smaller luke vert frame and the lpr/grip. I wonder what it might look like to drill out a hole, or a channel for a macroline tube in the apron of the lpr/grip bottom. It might make it so a ccm 90 degree fitting would work to avoid a big bend in the macro tubing?

    If you guys dont care about the extra weight I'll do away with the cavity, but I won't do both. Over-all I would classify it as being a considerable increase in weight though.

    I like the cavity myself. My previous comments where just ideas building off of previous suggestions that were posted.

    I like the the length and meatiness of the grip.

    Honestly I think you would be a mistake to produce it without the cavity.

    With the cavity please. C'mon guys... I go to the gym, but I'm not trying to lug around dumbbells on the playing field.

    Yeah. With cavity. We can always use extender if we want to use 90° fittings.

    The cavity is fine... leave it... if the grooves are gone those of us inclined to could shorten it without them running off the edge.

    The initial tests of both units were a great success, didn't find anything discouraging. These first tests I was only able to use a shop compressor with a PSI of 135. But this was enough to test the basic design and concept. I didn't find any air leaks, LPR holds its setting and is fully adjustable. I tested at 22 cycles per second with the LPR set at 65 psi and only got a fluctuation of 8 psi. Even the lower settings only fluctuated 10 psi. I still need to feed about 950 psi to it for final testing but so far so good.

    Good to hear the positive test

  12. #252
    With the LPR equipped, would the use of a SHP regulator still be acceptable?

    Should handle 1500 psi in...

    That was the question, right?

    Yes, it does. Does 1500 psi cover any spikes that might happen as well? When a spike happens, do you have a ballpark guess on what the psi increase would be?

    Why are you expecting spikes?

    I'm not. I was just curious.

    Did more testing today at full input pressure and everything looks good.
    I'll do more testing tomorrow if I can locate a low pressure gauge locally, my $6 ebay gauge took a crap.

    It looks like you already have things covered, but I thought I would at least pass this along. Palmers rock o meter has a lot of features that would be very helpful for testing.

    I've had this for a while and use it on my pneumags. It makes it very easy to dial in.

    Is it just a manifold to monitor/adjust the low pressure air coming out of a LPR? If so that is what I made.

    Well I've finished up testing, I can't find any issues or adjustments that need made, I think it's a viable part.

    This was all mechanical testing not on a marker. It was actually tested on my milling machine using a SCUBA tank providing the air. The milling machine provide constant and measurable cycling rates for consistency, not all that exciting to watch.

    Pretty boring.
