For the past 15 years I have always used an air compressor... 60 gallons @ 175PSI set to 80 on the hose, never once has static been an issue. I also don't bother with a dryer on the line, and yeah, I see moisture come out on short bursts, never once has it been an issue for me though I don't have droplets of water come out either. You are more liable to see static issues on plastic hose attachments with a vacuum cleaner and the attachment being that close to the machine for it to suck any decent amounts of dust away. Chances of static jumping from the air in a compressor hose to your machine when you have the air tool ~24 inches away is pretty much non-existent. What is bad is having the pressure too high when you are too close to the machine with the tool, and when you let the fans spin freely. Gonna blow SMD's off or cook a bearing real fast.

Great to hear from you MamaT
