Turbo carver question

[Darley]

Well I'm looking at my Christmas pressy now

http://tinyurl.com/5ktpuf

but I do have question about is connection to the compressor, my 2 HP compressor got this fitting

if some one here on IAP got a Turbo carver I would be please to know what type of end hose fitting it come with and some comments about it.Would be worth to get the water mist kit ?

Thanks

I have the Turbo carver but not the water mist kit. I simply turn the compressor output pressure WAY down and use a standard quick release on the Turbo's feed line.

Be sure to keep the Turbo oiled after each and every use ....

we don't have that model but ours uses a normal quick connect for a standard air hose.

That looks like the standard (actually there are two different styles and two or three different sizes) air line quick connect. You may want to remove that hose from your carver and take it to an Ace, or Home Depot or air toll supply house and actually try the male quick disconnects to see which size/style it is.

Thanks for your reply, Fred the Turbo carver doesn't need to be lubricated is oiless you may talk about the Powercrafter from CSUSA # 139-0100 @ $ 299.00.
Ton can I trouble you for a photo of yours especially the quick connect plug.
Rob thanks for this, but I need to know the size of the hose ID & OD and changing the hose from a brand new Tubo carver is not my option I can add a reduce fitting for it.

I did email them and have a reply but didn't answer about the size of the hose ( I did have a nice compliment about my compressor though)

now I see on they web site that they have Wood Burs set( 23 burs set but when you look at they PDF file it say 20 burs ) priced @ $ 119.00 I calculated that is cheap to buy individualy for $ 116.05

Shipping to OZland is not to bad but I think it can be less

Fred how do you reduce the pressure down on the compressor to 45 PSI?

Serge,
I use the powercrafter, with a quick connect on an adaptor for the 1/4" hose, then use a Festo foot petal preset to the right pressure and you can turn it on and off with your foot, keeping your hands free.

Joe any idea where can I buy the Festo foot petal, Thanks

Sorry Serge just saw this,
I really don't know. I was up at my friends place hunting and he had this sitting on his workbench, (someone had given it to him) and he gave it to me. It says Festo and it's made in West Germany other than that I don't know much about it.
