The Harbor Freight Compressed Air Dryer comes up on many forums and yahoo groups in regards to quality and using it for cooling air that will go through a plasma cutter. This review is my first hand experience with the harbor freight dryer.

I made some quick videos of my CNC Plasma Cutter (PlasmaCam) cutting some 18ga cold rolled mild steel. The video of the plasmacam in action was to show how effective ~5000cfm exhaust system is but it is very hard to see the dust being sucked down due to the bad lighting. I will have to make more plasmacam videos in the future.
I got these hand tools a while ago but have been busy with company (visitors and work work) and health problems lately so I apologize for the delay in getting these pictures and information posted.
Plasmacam is becoming a more popular term you read about on off-road forums and fabrication forums. It seems a lot of people are wanting to get into CNC Plasma Cutting. Most but not all of these people do not really fully understand the final price of the plasmacam machine and all the other requirements it has.
Parker Metal Working started selling plasma cutters on eBay. When a Pirate4×4 member named SeaBass44 purchased one, the company joined the Pirate4×4 forum under the name DIVTEC and started promoting their china made plasma cutters on the premise of awesome customer service. I chose to order from them because they pride themselves on customer service, and promote themselves this way through Pirate4×4. This is my personal experience with Parker Metal Working:
So we got to working on the back of the buggy finally! All of the plasmacam and plasma setup has been taking a LOT more time than I had thought.
I made some videos of my JD2 Model 3 tube bender with the harbor freight air over hydraulic jack conversion.
So the plasmacam is requiring me to spend some more money
to get it to run safely, longer, and cleaner. (And so that I can make better cuts and live longer!)
Well I got my plasmacam all setup in the corner and dialed in. We ran diagnostics on it and made sure everything was working right and reading each other. The plasmacam diagnostics tool is great and makes quick work for checking connections and for fluid movement of the machine.
I’ve wanted a CNC Plasma Table for a while now (~6yrs) and had received the Plasma Cam introduction video/sales video and it looked like a great machine so I did some research on it and nothing became of it for many reasons.
