On my machine, you can change the size of the pellets within a specific range, control the psi within a specific range, and also the volume of ice being used within a specific range. Not that there's anything wrong with that machine, it certainly has a place, but its uses are far more limited than the larger, more capable machine that I am!
And you nailed it. You need lots and lots of (dry) air, which requires a high-quality and high-performing air compressor, as well as a dryer and wet and dry tanks. Lots goes into this. Not as simple as many people may think.

Yeah, the person who said $10 overhead is laughably small. There is the space you rent/own, business insurance, electricity, water, taxes, if you have at least one other employee to help you answer the phone/run social media/take on smaller detailing jobs, etc.
And all those expenses don't go away if you don't book X number of jobs per week.
I'm glad I don't have to worry about winter damage/rust this far south.
