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 !
