Steve,
Congratulations on your AB. I've had one for a while and I'm sure you'll love yours. This was one case where I bought my last lathe first.
I've been studying your very well done tutorial on vacuum chucking systems. Thank you for your time and effort in making it available. One thing I don't understand is why you filter the exhaust air prior to the silencer. I understand the necessity to filter the air prior to entering the pump but what is the reason for filtering it as it leaves the pump? Would you enlighten me, please.
Thanks in advance for your response.
George
