Compressors

The AirGraver requires only 0.1 to 0.3 CFM depending on the depth of engraving or impact operation. A small air compressor is all that is necessary. When shopping for a small compressor make sure it is capable of at least 60PSI and has a tank of at least 1/3 gallon. Campbell Hausfeld makes a small one gallon compressor for $59. Ace Hardware and WalMart carries this compressor and several others. Check your local hardware and discount stores. For a quiet compressor consider the Silentaire compressors.
