Not sure what I've done, but see those two brass collection 'tanks' that I made, the #20 used to leak like a sieve and I'd empty them often.
Been running it all morning and not a drop of water in either of them since I put it back together after removing that burr.

Has anyone ever devised a collection tube or similar for where the water comes out here? -

Seems you might have sealed it up better when you put it back together, but the condensate usually comes from the gland (well this doesn't really have an adjustable gland) but you did sump'tin right. I've never tried to channel the drips from the rear of the valve, usually not alot comes from it, although...I've seen Jensen cap that end before.

I own these, although I don't use the high powered lens much, these are one of the most used tools in my shop.I always know where they're at.

That link wouldn't load for me Bruce.

I'd like the gear that my skin specialist has! He's let me play with it a bit.
Yes, Jim is correct. That link takes me to my Amazon orders summary and no product.
