I'd be curious to know how much air people are pushing across their lasers. I'm assuming most air assist pumps are adjustable. Is this true? I think I may need to increase the flow.

Thanks!

Howdy Jim!

We have air assist on our laser, but I've never seen an adjustment....never had a need to adjust the air flow.

The (very) few I have start with 10 Lbs of pressure out of a regulator and then control the flow downward using a limiting valve. That means to me that it is not a huge amount of air used.

Take that for what it's worth, not much but a bare starting point. Someone else will give a more exacting answer.

It was the strangest pizza I ever have had. Tasted just like steak.

Very well prepared steak.

Ah.

We ended up eating at the Hilton Steakhouse...not bad at all. Janna had the "Free Range Chicken", which we both expected to be a breast.

Wrong.

It was TWO very large leg quarters. WAAAAAY too much food.

I had their 12-oz prime rib, which was perfectly cooked. It wasn't the absolute best that I've had but it was very good. I think their scale needs calibration though....it was at least 16 ounces!

Okay....sorry for hijacking the thread.....back on topic now.

All this talk about food and a breast! 8-O

You're making me hungry!!!

Brian,

I need to check to see if I have an adjustment. The instruction booklet does not discuss any adjustment but the assembly drawing shows an "adjusting screw" so I'm hoping that is for the flow.

I'm showing around 9 psi when I'm vector cutting. The model says the max air pressure is 30 psi so I'm assuming I can adjust it, if needed. I seem to be getting a little more burn than I think I should. I need to also check the location of the flow. Maybe it isn't hitting the right spot. I'll check it out.

Thanks for the help!

Jim
