[TheForge] compressor setup

[Jeff Harding]

Bubba;

   Bruce is making a better point of where I've been trying to lead
you here.   Keep it cool. Keep it drained. Keep the oil checked. Keep
it filtered.  Even some low dollar compressors will last a long time
if you do those four.  I've seen high dollar compressors fail for lack
of same.

   The air tool oil is the way we handled it in our shop too.  We each
just gave the tool we were using a couple of drops in it's inlet when
we hooked up.  No mess and no air contamination, no "oily hose" to
keep track of.  What are you planning on running that will need
constant oil?

> In my body shop, I'm more concerned about relatively contamination
free air. I use air tools daily and oil at the tool with a good air
tool oil.
> I have a moisture collector(Sharpe) at the regulator coming off the
tank.(abot 3 feet from tank) Make it a habit to check the oil and
drain the water from the tank and collector each time you fire up the.
