[sudo-discuss] air compressor and plasma cutter

[Jake]

sudoroom has a nice air compressor.

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.
