I previously posted about my Harbor Freight compressed air dryer that I use with my plasmacam to prolong consumable life and do better cuts.� This article is about the other parts of my plasmacam air drying system including the devilbiss dad-500 clean air system and pre and post filters to this system.

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.

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.
