Laser Air Assist Pumps or Shop Air?

An overview of a few different laser air assist pumps and what you need to do if using "shop air" from an air compressor.

Thanks, Roger in the Shop! I had considered using my airbrush compressor, but instead opted for a 30L/min. air assist pump. Still waiting on the 3D-printed nozzle. Really enjoying this laser. Man, the extra costs sure do add up quick. But when I get into a new venture, I do like to have everything I need for it.

My concern about the air assist pumps is that if the outlet feed to the laser is closed and it is still running, it will cause back pressure leading to possible damage to the diaphragm of the pump. Ideally the air assist pump should switch off at the same time as the air control valve to the laser head.

Some lasers have that feature, but most do not.
