Hi, all - Among my equipment is a smaller compressor (similar to SilentAir) and an older (tan face) Gravermax with 801 hand piece.
When the compressor kicks in, the hand piece behaves strangely. Yesterday I wasn't fast enough and saw it on the microscope.
When the compressor kicks in, the handpiece stops for a second, and when it starts again it throws out 2 or 3 really violent, hard strokes (actually saw them on the scope - shook the stand). It then returns to normal frequency.
I tried adding 25' of hose to try to create an air cushion against what I thought was a compressor air lag problem, but that had no effect.
Is there a component in the older GRS Gravermax units that could cause this? When I inspected it upon receipt, I noticed that the glass inside the interior of the filter was murky, so I'm wondering if past [oil or other] contamination could be the culprit.
Thanks - learning lots from everyone's posts, and I appreciate your sharing. Bob
