    Star Air Feed

    Does the Star air feed work better with a compressor attached or can you use an Air Tank. I have a large compressor but it is pretty far from my Star. This is my first Star and I’m still setting it up.

    Air tank works fine; fill tank to 80 psi and away you go.

    I use a air tank most of the time, but the compressor is in the garage and the shop is only one

    That’s the backup plan.

    The Star doesn’t use any air, it only uses the air pressure to push the plunger down.

    It sounds like your Star is fully automated. That would be nice!
