What are the cfm's required for this tool?
194187
The owners manual says 0.025 ft^3/cycle at 100psi, 0.023 ft^3/cycle at 90psi and 0.019 ft^3/cycle at 80psi. It also gives the following formula for cfm calculation, "Amount of air required = number of Nailers x average nails driven each minute per Nailer x air consumption at given pressure x safety factor (always 1.2)"

I don't know, but it is not much. It only uses a bit of air when the gun fires and I had it on a pancake compressor. A small compressor is plenty for this tool. If you are wondering about psi rather than cfm, then 90 psi will run it fine.

Can't you calculate the CFM from the provided information: "The NT50AE2 requires 70-120 psi operating pressure to function properly. It takes in air at a rate of 0.025 cubic feet per cycle at 100 psi." If you require 0.025 CF/cycle, then you just need to figure out how many you fire per minute...

A small compressor 2 or3 gal. like a pancake or emglo compressor. All you need is 60-65 PSI.

the CFM rating on these is generally part of the model number, in this case it is 240 cfm.

I don't know the specific requirements for the compressor. I use my nailer with a small 6 gallon Porter-Cable portable air compressor and it works great. This is an excellent tool that has given me good service. I hope this helps.

Where I work we regulate the psi at 90. As far as cfm goes I am not sure. My small 5hp 30 gal. compressor at home would not be able to keep up it with the compressor running the whole time.

The Gallon Capacity Of The Compressor Is Irrelevant. What You Really Need To Consider Is The Air Supply Rate. The Manual Specifies That At 100 Nails Per Minute You Need To Supply 8.7 CFM. At 50 Nails Per Minute, Then Half That Air Rate.

Probably....... I used my last one to paint my fence. The Spec on the Compressor Reads: SCFM at 40 PSI of 4.8 cu and a Standard Paint Gun Operating Pressure found on Amazon is found to be 29 to 51 PSI Avg. Air Consumption: 4.2 to 7.1 CFM. I found another that read "Requires 43-58 PSI inlet pressure for proper operation" but doesn't reference how many cubic feet per minute.

~7 cfm @ 40PSI. Real world working performance hasn't given me any indication to think otherwise.

The unit does not have enough free cfm to run a 1/2 impact wrench without constantly waiting for the compressor to recharge. Ordinarily the impact wrench needs at least 8 to 10 cfm output to run the wrench with near constant use.

Umm, seriously? Hello? Air powered tools require compressed air. Duh If you have another source of compressed air other than an air compressor, go for it.

Depends on the load (ie what it is conected to). in our configuration we are getting about 200 cfm

I think it was 300 cfm. Not sure, bought it last year. Works well, makes a whine but not too loud.

This California Air Tools Ultra Quiet, Oil-Free Air Compressor delivers 3.8 CFM @ 40 PSI or 2.35 CFM @ 90 PSI. The maximum PSI is 120.

You should always go by the manufacturers recommended CFM on the sprayer first of all, then compare the compressor to see if its CFM compares and should be slightly higher to be safe.

I don't have an answer. I just purchased what my tool required. Sorry I can't help you.

Pressure (150 psi) won't be the issue. Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM) will be the limiting factor using a pancake compressor. It will operate the gun for short periods, then you have to wait for it to catch up.

You can use hook and loop or psa depending on what backing pad you buy. I think it comes with a hook and loop one but can't quite remember. My compressor is 85 cfm but I am sure it could run with as little as 10 cfm or so, THis is a bit of a guess. I have bought loads of these in my time and won't by anything else
