Re: Plasma Cutter
Having a filter at the end of your air line isn't a bad idea if you're air plumbing is done with black or galvanized pipe. Over time the moisture in the air will rust the inside of black pipe and rust particles will break free being passed along to whatever tools are hooked to the air line. With galvanized pipe the galvanized particles could flake off being passed to your tools also. The filter(s) will have to be located at or near the end of the air line(s) to be effective. This isn't a big problem but just something you might want to take into consideration.
With copper, aluminum, and rubber air lines you don't have this problem. If you've got PVC air lines then whoever installed those was just plain ignorant or stupid. I'd be more worried about getting maimed or killed then whether or not I should have a filter on my PVC lines.
PVC makes great FIRST game pieces, not air lines!
