Which Compressor Air Filter should i buy?

[e5c0rt.mk1]

Hi,
has anyone got any recommendations for a good air filter to use with a plasma cutter?

Only used the plasma cutter for 2 days and ruined the consumables already at over £20 for some new ones, i don't want to be replacing them that quick.

Thanks in advance
Owen

It's not necessarily filtering, It's more of a drying filter thats needed. Plasma cutter hate moisture,

I was thinking something like this, dont know if thats what you mean. I just dont know which are good or bad

that's water separator and regulator. ideal. just make sure the inlet and outlet are half inch bsp fittings for high cfm flow

If its mounted at the plasma end of the hose quarter inch BSP will be OK

Is there any good makes? All on ebay look abit cheap and nasty

I've used ebay cheap and nasty and have never had a problem

i use metal works filter regulators.these are the same as devilbiss but a lot cheaper at around £60

as Gordon said a quarter bore will be good on plasma end and a half inch one on the outlet of tank. both will trap moisture . the one on the tank once the air gets warm will let moist air pass and condense in pipe . the second one on machine will pick it up

I am using These to dry the air for my plasma cutter. Scroll down the listing to see which size you would prefer to use and then use the part number to search their ebay shop.
