Anyone cut their ******* shorter?

[404]

Was reading that the threaded ****** on the male air coupler can go in to the air tool to far and partially block the screen and reduce air flow.

Does anyone have more info. Was thinking of measuring and estimating how far a new ****** will go into the air tool, and cutting it shorter so it does not protrude into the tool.

All comments and advice appreciated and welcome.

The bore of the coupling is the same regardless of whether it's snug upto the internal screen or not.

Never heard that one.....not do I believe it. The passage is straight in, so the only thing that would block it would be the side wall. Now the volume of air is already limited by that ID of the pipe/******, so you won't gain anything by cutting it.

You could improve the flow ever so slightly with a countersink to add a chamfer to the inside.

If the title of this thread aint click bait then I dont know what it.

Makes me cringe every time I see it..

Over cut them when you thread them and they will fit more snug...

I think people are taking this every bit of air thing way too seriously.. I want to see some youtube tests of guys trying the same tool with a 1/4" line and a 1/2" line...

I never cut my ******* but I did pierce them

No, but I've been circumcised. Most women go for things that are at least 20% off.

 

[devoncoolman]

Hmmm the things you guys think up.

If you lost 20%, you got a bad Mohel. Your family needs to find someone new.

I don't think there is any way to measure the minute (if any) loss of flow....

 

[rockinacummins]

Hell no. That would hurt.

 

[mmack66]

That guy in The Wall did.

Thank you all for your replies. Countersink the hole in the ****** end would be easiest for me to do. Any other comments welcome.

What interchange style are you using for your quick disconnects?

I would venture so say that the coupler and connector themselves will cause more restriction than the threads being too close to the filter screen.

I am not doing utube to demonstrate the hair shave from a gnats ***. We have actually done most of these tests and read from engineers and the biggest difference is in length of secondary hose.

Yes you can but the practical side of it is very small. The net has brought this to a new level and hads really blurred the line between a mountain and a molehill and so many seem totally incapable of telling which is which.
While a new 5 hp comp may seem massive and a guy envisions all this great industrial work he is going to do non stop he really doesn't.
We become worried to tears about a process that is about 10% efficient and has about 1% or less duty cycle for most people.

Industrial interchange 1/4 inch with 3/8 hose.

Still cringing at the very thought.

Now I know how my wife feels when I go after her with a little biting action......
