yes thats not a problem.  it can share the 240v 30a circuit with the robot.

it's a Hypertherm Powermax 900

Wondering if we have the current capacity for a plasma cutter?

      I did a lot of research and the answer is, none of the things pictured are the problem, they
      are leaking as a symptom of the check valve malfunctioning.

      If someone orders a new check valve i'll install it and we'll have a perfectly properly
      functioning air compressor again.

      Also we need some oil for it:
      "Chevron synthetic 5W-30, Mobil 1 5W-30 or 10W-30 synthetic motor oil. Using other types of
      oil will cause starting problems"

      can i get some excitement about us getting a plasma cutter?

                  here is the manual:

                  I am presently trying to figure out why it leaks air from a valve
                  whose purpose I don't understand.  In the meantime it is working now.

                  My friend is offering to lend us a plasma cutter, which is like a
                  welder but cuts metal instead of welding it together.  It uses
                  electricity and compressed air, and when we attach the business end
                  to
                  the robot, we will be able to cut precise shapes out of steel of
                  significant thickness, making the laser cutter very jealous.

                  can someone print out the air compressor manual (PDF link above) and
                  perhaps put it in a binder so it doesn't get grimy?  We can attach it
                  to the compressor somehow.
