Hello Gents,
Are most of you using a standard regulator or a flow meter to see how much air is going to the head?

This is what I use - regulator and a desiccant filtration
Perhaps a bit over kill but I dont have to be concerned with any moisture in my air going to the Laser.

Thanks.
Looks like I might have to just upgrade my air system. My little Husky is struggling to keep up with air consumption. The compressor is regulated to 35p.s.i. to a desiccant filter to the regulator on the machine. Set to 5 p.s.i the compressor barely climbs from 90 to 135 then only off for 1 minute before kicking on again.

Hi Leo .... I bought a California Air Compressor and use 40 psi continuously ... the compressor keeps up no problem.
