Hi everyone , Recently I’ve been looking into getting an air scribe and have looked at three, the cp9160, cp9361 and the dnsons ARO. Which would you recommend.

And what would be the smallest possible compressor that could work with one of these? Thanks.

I bought a new Chicago Pneumatic CP9160 engraver tool from Amazon last October. It works/worked very well for removing matrix. When I first got it, I didn't have an air drying system on my compressor, so I made sure to add a few drops of air tool oil each time I used it (per the manual). A month or two ago I added an air dryer (http://amzn.com/B00OJX6CJ2) to the system. Because of that, and the fact that the scribe kept blowing dirty oil onto the fossils (yuck!), I stopped adding oil. I typically use the scribe only once a week or so, and only for perhaps an hour, but even with that light
