Re: Air Consumption on older Haas?
Anytime the spindle is turned on, air will come out around it. It will shut off after 2-3 minutes. No air is used when the machine is sitting idle. So, let it sit for a few minutes and plug anything that leaks after that.
If it uses a lot of air when the spindle is on, check that the secondary regulator in the back for the spindle is set to 15 psi I think it is. No higher.
