Default Re: CO2 Foot Pedal info on page 2, Not yet a beginner..

If I remember correctly it was in the principle of how these tools work. Basically Classic is a low pressure unit - to get it working you add more air. GRS works the other way round - it consumes max air all the time and when you press the pedal it starts to take away air and handpiece starts to work.

About a month or 2 ago someone wrote a very detailed description in this very forum of how these tools work.

My father will switch to Lindsay Classic just because he doesn't like the way GRS tools are (over)engineered and how much air they consume. (No, this is not a tool war start, just one opinion). With foot pedal Classic and 21 liter compressor tank I can engrave about 1 hr before I need to refill. I guess the time will double or more with PalmControl.
