Question For Folks That Use An Iwata Hi-Line Airbrush

I just got one, and I'm curious as to how your suppose to use the MAC feature (Micro Air Control), and what your suppose to use it for.

The MAC valve works by regulating the air pressure directly at the airbrush, rather than having to reach over and adjust the compressor regulator.

My Micron has one as well. I thought it seemed an unnecessary feature. But, it's turned out to be rather handy. It's quite helpful when "fine tuning' your spray pattern. I guess it's one of those extras that's nice if you have it, but not really necessary.
