Does the Automatic Tool Changer require an air compressor?

Yes, it will require a small air compressor that is capable of outputting 110 PSI of air pressure.  We use a small pancake compressor from Harbor Freight that we got for $119.00.  They have pricing that ranges and sometimes you can get it for even less money.

Note: You will need a 1/4 in. FNPT x 1/4 in. I/M Steel Plug fitting to match your compressor’s hose.  Here is one from Home Depot: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-1-4-in-FNPT-x-1-4-in-I-M-Steel-Plug-12234HOM/205330359
