This upgrade is intended to give the laser the ability to turn on and off the air as jobs start and stop. Also switching to a compressor rather than the stock pump that came with the machine I am able to push way more air while cutting which has resulting in really clean cuts with increased speed. The regulator provides more adjustability for different applications like engraving. When engraving I like to turn the air down as low as possible and then crank it up when cutting.
