honestly i have not received my setup from torchmate yet but i use this for doing auto body paint and w/ my fab tools w/ no issues i assume it will work w/ the plasma well.

I ran pvc pipe thru the refrigerator in the garage and it takes all the water out and was only about 50 bucks...

I attempted to build a franzinator but I'm pretty sure I screwed something up because I still get a lot of water at the end of the line. Cut quality doesn't seem to be suffering but I'm guessing it could be even better if I had dry air.

It works great for me.

I though I posted pics last night??? I think I hit preview and then exit....:shaking:

Well basicaly, air goes in the top and out the bottom in a zig zag pattern, and has some zig zaging on the outside on the bottom to collect the water, and a quarter turn valve on the bottom for a drain....I get about a cup of water out after the compressor runs for a week or so, on and off, doing plasma, sand blaster, etc......
