[AT] Air lines for shop

[Spencer Yost]

I am going with the Rapidair system.   Im using the Maxline product rather than their rigid AL piping so I can simply hand shape turns and curves.  I placed my order on Amazon over the weekend. While the “Master” kit is $200 on Amazon, it’s also a very simple system.  I needed a slightly more complicated system.  So my order was quite a bit more.  But still it will cost less than a copper system and maybe only $50-75 more than a steel pipe system so this was a nice choice. Modular and easy.

Will let you folks know how it goes. With delivery of a few items stretching out to the end of the week and my schedule rarely allowing me more than 20 or 40 minutes of fiddling on something in the shop before other priorities call me, it’ll be a while before I’m finished.

>> Good call Spencer!  I have a Rapidair tab open on my work computer and I'm chewing on the idea of replumbing my 5 CNC machines, which run off a dedicated, separate 5HP compressor, originally intended to be temporary so it was plumbed with rubber hose that's just draped in the rafters.  But I'm thinking about making that system permanent.  It allows me to run the CNC's 24 hrs without having to run the big 25HP rotary all night long. Thanks again to Steve W!
