| Turbo Carver Systems Powered by CO2 Tanks |
CO2 allows you to work in remote locations, where power is
unavailable or where sound must be held to a minimum. It's
the perfect solution. Knife makers and top knife companies,
for example, love it when engravers sign their knives in
remote locations or at trade shows. There is no need to have
electricity or a loud air compressor. They simply rent a CO2
tank and easily sign the hardest blades for hours on end. The
same is true for people who personalize fragrance bottles in
department stores or those who engrave auto glass at car
shows or at truck stops... the possibilities are endless.

Thus, I can provide you with an inexpensive, CO2 regulator for your tank if you so wish. A 20
pound CO2 tank should be available through your local Welding Supply outlets, but they also come
in 50, 10 and 5 pound sizes. Some Welding Supply outlets will actually rent CO2 tanks to you.
One pound of liquid CO2 equals 7 cubic feet in its gaseous state. A 20 pound tank will power the
Turbo Carver for about 3-12 hours of continuous use, which is a hard day's usage. 20 pound tanks
are the most convenient, as they measure 7 inches in diameter by 3 feet in height and weigh 43
pounds when full. It costs between $15 and $20 to refill a 20 pound tank. Carbon Dioxide is very
cold when it comes out of the tank and will freeze the foot control unless some of the coldness is
removed. This is done by tightly wrapping the clear foot control tubing around the tank and taping it
in place.
Plastics make the Turbo Carver more efficient... consumption is only 1 CFM at 45 PSI, making
Turbo Carver the only instrument that will operate effectively on both compressed air and bottled
CO2. A CO2 tank is initially less expensive than an air compressor and is much easier to haul
around. CO2 does not require electricity, of course, and is totally quiet, allowing you to work in
remote locations, places where power is not available or places where noise wouldn't be tolerated.
The TCII allows you to use this technology as the water will not effect our tool as it can a metal drill.
