    What air compressor CFM and reservoir size needed to run a 50 amp plasma cutter

    Ok! I will try that if I see or hear any signs of leakage! By the way, I found a different, better price, and 2-1/2 day delivery for 565 on Amazon.ca - just a betetr offer that did not come up when I searched driectly from Amazon, but did come up on Google! I ordered a 5 ml tube for $28...

    What air compressor CFM and reservoir size needed to run a 50 amp plasma cutter

    I was afraid to tighten them TOO much and thus stripping the threads, especially on the expensive regulator. So you are satying i should not be so afraid of overtightening? Jim G

    What air compressor CFM and reservoir size needed to run a 50 amp plasma cutter

    Yes, and a bit more Googling suggests that maybe Fastenal will have some 565. Andrew Sherrett and Fastenal are literally across the street from each other, and only about 6 km from our home. I'll call them tomorrow and ask.

    What air compressor CFM and reservoir size needed to run a 50 amp plasma cutter

    We live in South Lethbridge, very close to Costco, Home Depot, The superstore, and the big coulee that runs west across Hwy 5 and continues northward past the University and beyond, all the way past the north end of the city. This city is incredible for its short distances to ANYWHERE in the...

    What air compressor CFM and reservoir size needed to run a 50 amp plasma cutter

    Home Depot and other home centers here in Lethbridge don't appear to have 565. there is no NAPA store here locally either. Amazon.ca has it, but wants $54 for a 5 ml tube of it. Not looking good so far. Also, at least one wbesite says it hardens in 15 minutes or so, but takes 24 hours to fully...

    What air compressor CFM and reservoir size needed to run a 50 amp plasma cutter

    I've seen the liquid pipe sealer mentioned, and would be very interested in hearing more about it, as the white tape is a major pain to use and somewhat unreliable in its performance (as I confirmed today again). How long does the lquid product take to "dry" or "cure"? Where do you buy it? Any...

    What air compressor CFM and reservoir size needed to run a 50 amp plasma cutter

    Yes, I am currently thinking that: 1. It's a very small plasma cutter - just a step above the very lowest cost ones that lack some of its features ( Pilot arc, front mounted psi control, front mounted psi gage, adjustable post flow, etc) 2. The user manual says specifically that psi should be...

    Yes! I think they are just being kind to a senior who obviously has not realized that's it's time to relax, not innovate. :) Jim G

    What air compressor CFM and reservoir size needed to run a 50 amp plasma cutter

    You are right of course, and that is exactly what I do with my TIG welder and its Argon supply. The Argon cylinder is small and lighter weight. and is chained onto the cart that holds the TIG welder, so that's practical to do. But, the Nitrogen tank is too heavy to load into and out of any...
