my compressor for things like PCBs for just that reason - it does put

They're inexpensive (ca. $20) for the small setup (1/4"-3/8"
fittings) and are manually purged. If you've got a large setup,
there are auto-purging models. Also known as an "air dryer".
If you do much spray lacquer work, it's very important to have on on
your air supply line. Also important if you have any pneumatic
instrumentation (recorders, controllers, square-root extracters and
the like).
