What is the difference between a manual and a semi-automatic?

The manual machines are the traditional method with the Ram Arm (standard option). All machines (except the 1.5HP 120V machine ) can be converted from a Ram Arm to a semi-automatic machine by just adding on a semi-automatic kit. The semi-auto is an air powered drop-on attachment. Note: a compressed air source ( 2+ gallon air compressor) is required and will need to be furnished by the customer.

What do I need in order to run the semi-automatic?

We suggest a 2+ gallon air compressor that is capable of 1.9 CFM. New quiet-compressor technology is the best option for compact kitchens. Our recommendation is the Makita Quiet Series (MAC210Q). These can be purchased at any local hardware store.
