Hey, I was wondering if some one here might be able to help me figure out a compressor issue that I have right now at my work.
I have a Super Silent 50TCA attached to a gravermach and it seems to be having issues keeping pressure. It’ll start up, build up air and stop as normal, but doesn’t seem to kick back on when it needs to. I’m only able to get two or three cuts in with the gravermach before it stops working due to not having any pressure, then I have to wait 5 or so minutes before the compressor decides turns back on and builds up air again, and it doesn’t seem to keep that air even when I’m not using it.
I thought that draining it might help, but even after that it does the same thing. I’m not hearing or feeling any obvious leaks, so I’m wondering what else I need to check to fix the problem, because otherwise my engraving has been taking three times longer than it should since I have to wait on the compressor to turn back on again. (Seriously, it took me like, two hours just to engrave a inch and a half long EKG line on a pendant due to having maybe 30 seconds to a minute of cut time. It was so frustrating!)
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
