Why use a manifold? - Chief Delphi

So yeah, everyone please remember that lathes are one of the most dangerous machine tools you'll encounter. And keep your hand on the chuck key whenever it's in the chuck. If you never let it go till it's out of the chuck, it's stupendously less likely to take flight. - Kevin Sevcik [more]

The first part makes sense, but are you saying that if you separate the shooter from the manifold you'll have fewer restrictions? Do manifolds have a cv rating?
