Does it have built-in air compressor or require separate source?

Hi jp2code. No it does not have a built in compressor. You will need an external source that can provide an oil/water free stream of air. If you plan on doing a long continuous run make sure the compressor can keep up. The compressor has to be relatively large because the plasma relies on the high CFM rate to cut properly. Before I switched to a 80gal 5hp compressor I ran this unit on a smaller 40 gallon 2hp compressor and it would lose cutting power due to low air pressure.Hope this helps.

we used an air compressor. if you don't have one, just go to a gas station and use theirs.

Yes you need an air compressor with a minimum of 16 cfm to run this tool. I would however recommend even more cfm than that as this tool is a bit of an air hog.

Hi You will need an air compressor; this type has more power than electric.

Of course you'll need an air compressor, but you probably know that. I haven't had to replace any parts yet and I've used it a lot. Hope this helps.

NO, it an electric powered compressor. While mine worked well for a time, it broke down due to a cheap plastic part in the pressure regulator.

Yes, you can use an air compressor, but don't exceed the maximum suggested psi.

I used my shop air compressor, but a small pump such as a water toys inflater would work also. I does take a while to inflate.

You need to get some extra parts for the compressor. Like a filter, scuba tank fill nozzle, and most air compressors don't have enough psi output

No this does not have a air compressor.Remember to use a desiccant filter for your air.

The air compressor needs nothing extra to operate. You add the enclosed oil and it is ready to for the break in procedure outlined in the owners manual. The accessories you will need will depend on what you want to do with it. No matter what other accessories you want, you will need a good air hose and connectors.

All you will need is an air chuck. They sell them separately but I recommend buying the combination kit which also includes the quick connect adapters, a blow gun and sometimes a pressure gauge to check the tire pressure. I think this compressor is an outstanding deal. I use mine as a portable air tank. I air it up in my garage. When it reaches pressure and shuts off I disconnect the electrical plug and carry it out to the car and truck in the driveway. You not only save dragging out and winding up the extension but connecting it directly to the wall plug avoids the possibility of overloading the extension cord if it is not a heavy enough gauge.

It runs on compressed air that you supply from a compressor. This is just an attachment.

The compressor has enough to run it. but ig you use it for any length of time you might run out of air.

As a matter of it is. Air is great but you need a large compressor. That's why I bought the electric one.

Good question. Don't know for sure. It's a great compressor! Very tight and does not lose air.

Hello there, this particular compressor has only one quick connect which comes with the machine which connects to the compressor itself.
