Ordered a Power Plasma 50

[Haywire]

Well, I bit the bullet and ordered an Everlast PP50. Guess I'm eating cereal for a bit. LOL. Mark gave me a lot of tips while I was on the line with him. Gotta get a water trap and a line dryer.

Good thing your done. I'm still undecided on what to get between the Everlast 60, 70, 80 or Powermax 45. Been reading on reviews.... I need it to build my smoker or else I will be using the two additional grinders I just bought :laughing:... Lots of grinding if I can't decide soon :confused2:. Please post your reviews when you get it....

Harbor freights use to sell a air dryer, but I think they discontinued them now.
You could build one like I did.

Got that trash can full of dry ice?

It's still there:
Compressed Air Dryer

I just have the tank, a large coalescing filter leaving the tank, and the small SMC clone coalescing filter that came with my plasma cutter.

My tank is a converted 100lb propane tank. I have the inlet concentric to the outlet through the top 3/4" NPT fitting. The inlet is 3/8" soft copper that extends in and is bent to discharge the pump air tangent to the wall about half way down. The intent is to separate the moisture instead of dispersing it in the tank.

Enjoy the torch!

Hope you have good luck with yours. I am waiting for my 4th PP60 to ship.:confused2:
First 3 worked a few days, then just quit.

Harbor freight still sells that air dryer..and ive owned that model for about 5-6 years now. Has worked flawlessly. Removes all the moisture .

I know cause i have a paper filter after the dryer, and i have never had to replace that membrane. its always 100% dry.

I need pure dry air for my cnc plasma cutter, otherwise the tips flake out pretty fast. And everyone knows its not the plasma cutters price you need to worry about.... its the consumables. I have a hypertherm 1000 and i know i have spent more on consumable tips, swirl rings, etc than i ever spent on the unit itself over the years.

You should hook up a circulator pump, and make that thing double as your torch cooler..

Congrads on that PP 50 Haywire. :thumbsup:
