I have a number of different pumps and tank, from a large shop compressor to a desk top air brush, but I’m not certain if any of them are suitable for use as air assist pumps on a hobbyist laser cutter.
What should I be looking for in terms of specification, and is there anything that I should avoid?
I’d rather something that I already have rather than buying something new.
At my hackspace, we just added a second regulator to our main compressor. We keep that at around 200 kPa, and we have an additional regulator on the laser cutter itself if someone wants reduced pressure.
