Air compressor pressure

[andrewtom]

Hi,
I am now waiting for my Artisan graver and meanwhile I bought an air compressor (1.5 gallon tank). I am not sure about how to ise it together with the dual regulator. It can get up to 200 psi but I am almost sure I don’t need that much pressure. What pressure do you set for your compressor? Thanks!

you should set it at just a pound or so psi. if insufficient, graduually increase till you get results.
200 psi would likely blow the hoses off the fittings. i don't know about the artisan, but most of the air toys i'm familiar with operate on the cfm rather than the psi.
the lindsay air toy i have, you can actually get it to stroke by simply blowing thru thr hose. i don't advise doing this; i was just dumb enuff to see if such would cycle the handpiece !

100 to 120 psi is more than enough in the tank, the tool only need around 30 or so psi to run.

Everything you need to know is in the manual that comes with the Artisan.
