Air dryer for plasma cutter

[deranged]

I've been using a small disposable in-line filter/dryer branded as "Speedaire", on my PP256, mounted just after the unit's air regulator. Grainger has these in 2-paks for, I think, $18.00. They are small, but rated for 125psi and 15CFM. I get consistent steady cutting with one of these installed. Also, instead of throwing them out when they turn pink, I remove the nylon protective cage and just place the filter on a trivet on top of my wood stove until the beads inside turn back to blue.

I use some sold by Milton PN#S1173, that are very similar to these. I have mine just before the regulator on the cutter to grab any water still left in the line. They take care of the the water issues quite well, are inexpensive, easily portable, and can be dried and re-used.

ATD also has them PN 7820
