I'm in the of putting together a vacuum system for turning and I'm wondering about filters. I have a new Gast oil-less vacuum on order along with a needle valve. From the research that I've done it sounds like I should have two filters - one closest to the lathe and one next to the bleeder valve.
Do I need to order a specific vacuum filter, or can I use a simple compressed air filter such as one available from some place like Home Depot? Such as this one: http://www.homedepot.com/buy/tools-hardware/air-compressors-tools-accessories/husky/1-4-in-air-compressor-filter-61421.html
Would there be any problems with using a compressed air filter in a vacuum system? Any reason why this wouldn't work?
Thanks in advance for any advice and recommendations.
