Still going strong!
Just an update.
Steve tells me that my PC is now over two years old! Well, it's still running as good as the day I bought it....Simons is too  With the work i'm doing, ie. Mostly deep scroll and heavy carving, I work most of the time with the piston (Tungsten) at full stroke and with around 80psi. This is for about seven hours a day, 5.5 days a week, so if there's anything to go wrong, it would have happened by now. I think good design and great manufacturing quality is to blame Oh!...and it also saves me a lot of time and stress over H&C. Thanks Steve! Phil

Re: Still going strong!
I shan't live long enough to put that much work on my classic so I obviously have nothing to worry about. It is a great tool and so easy on these old hands.
Good comments Phil!

Re: Still going strong!
I'm happy to see that my prediction back then was right.
While you were already so good it couldn't make you a better engraver, it has allowed you to be a faster engraver so we get to see more great projects like your Ryder Cup gun.

Re: Still going strong!
This machine was made like in the old days, to last forever
 And it seems like the design worked even better. Cleaning after a long time did not even give me any colour on the cotton swab since I use my new compressor. The old one must have bee the one putting some lightest of gray in the airgraver.
