JTF is cheap WTF ! <£50. That compressor should blast the chips right out of the frying pan ! I am never happy about running that type of compressor continuously. Maybe if you cut the airflow down enough to remove the swarf, but keep it as low as possible, so the compressor isn't working flat out, could work OK without burning out the motor.
My little (A4) machine is a lot less industrial, the ACO388D pump blows directly on the work from as little distance as possible as I have a nozzle fixed to the spindle mount. The air feed tube is 8mm i.d. smooth walled to keep the air flow resistance down. It keeps the chips off the cutter and I use the blower gun on the airbrush compressor to blast it occaisionally.
I plan to use a solenoid valve to pulse air when I do the steel welded machine.Last edited by cropwell; 29-10-2015 at 03:43 PM.
