1). Why does water run out my compressed air line every time I turn the air on? By : Bill Wade
Water. This drives every compressed air user nuts!!! Every time they use an air tool, blow-off gun, or even fill the inflatable air mattress, water appears along with the compressed air.
The water is a problem if the compressed air is moving through a tool that can rust or be negatively affected by airborne particles, and, given enough 'fill-ups and empties' a significant amount of water will appear in anything which you inflate or run with compressed air.

2). Don't use a needle valve to control your air cylinder speed! By : Bill Wade
Many industrial machines using compressed air as an energy source, use air cylinders or other pneumatic actuators to do the actual work.
Compressed air is 'explosive' as it moves from high pressure to low pressure on it's way back to atmosphere. That means when the air valve shifts and air flows to the cylinder, the cylinder piston and rod moves extremely quickly.
