Reply:Most Plasma cutters like dry, clean air. Dry being the operative word. Some old timers used to put oil in the tanks so they would not rust if you did don't use is at all.  If your are compressing shop air and still breathing ok then a simple air filter with moisture and praticulate filter works and attach it to the mach. not the tank.  Moisture will settle in  your lines as well as the tank so keep it drained.I recommend: motor guard http://www.motorguard.com
Reply:I've had very good luck with these products.  And they're American made.Make sure to get a regulator rated for MORE than the compressor shutoff pressure (usually 175psi on a good compressor).  http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-2-Air-Regu...&forceRpt=trueSame deal with the water seperator  http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-2-Standard...&forceRpt=trueI bought my compressor from these guys, and the regulator/trap.  In addition I plumbed two additional water traps into my hard line.  Never had a problem with my Cutmaster 51.  The air is good.  And it gets real humid here.ALSO YOU WANT TO PUT A MOTORGARD FILTER ON THE PLASMA CUTTER!!!!Last edited by farmersamm; 10-31-2012 at 06:03 PM.Reason: wrong link"Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/
