I had to use the nitrogen because the compressed air the supplier first gave me was filthy and damp and working building this bridge in the middle of no where had big limitations. Medical grade air or breathable air works great but cost huge coin. Nitrogen is clean, dry and the price is not too bad, but it does not cut as clean as regular compressed, dry clean air. In my shop I run double filters and an air dryer on my cutter.
