The xTool Selected Air Compressor \u0026amp; Air Dryer Combo is engineered specifically for the xTool MetalFab system, providing a convenient and cost-effective alternative to relying exclusively on bottled nitrogen or argon for many cutting applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not simply an optional shop compressor. \u003cstrong\u003eWhen compressed air is used with the MetalFab, an air dryer is essential.\u003c\/strong\u003e Ordinary compressed air can contain moisture, oil residue, dust, and other contaminants. If those contaminants enter the MetalFab’s air lines and processing head, they can reduce cutting quality, contaminate internal components, and potentially damage the equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included xTool Air Dryer conditions the compressed air before it reaches your MetalFab. Its heat-exchange system rapidly cools the air, while a three-stage filtration system removes moisture, oil, and fine particles. This helps provide the stable, clean airflow needed for consistent cuts, reduced dross, and better protection for your investment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Complete Compressed-Air Solution for MetalFab\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaired with the xTool SaveGas™ nozzle, the compressor-and-dryer system can provide continuous cutting pressure above 87 PSI.
