Hi does anyone know the limits for air-line pressure at the nozzle? That's a workshop air line rather than Easyjet! Thanks Simon

System working pressure is very much dependent on the needs of the tool, and the system should be set accordingly for the needs of the tools. Nail guns might need 60 - 100 psi. Blow guns should be limited to around 30psi./ 1.5 Bar? I trust we're not talking about using compressed air to blow out swarf, blow down benches etc. - a practice that should be outlawed.

Oops! 30 psi is around 2 bar.
