how many cfm is required to run this wrench
1982190
No need to run the tool over 90 pounds, just accelerates wear. The specs say 5.2 cfm. Unless you are doing production work, you can get by with less.

I have run it with 90 cfm, but on a intermittent basis. For shop or continuous work, plan on at least 110-125 cfm. And have a generous tank handy!

I'm using it at apprx 5.5cfm and it's fine. Could go more but I've never needed to. I run it at 125psi
1982193
Don't no the answer to the cfm question, but I run my air compressor at 100psi.

To tell you the truth, not much. I am able to use my Porter Cable pan cake compressor with a six gallon tank. Enough air to replace a front suspension, brakes and the lugs off the front tires with no sweat. Spins off bolts with ease. Its a great impact at a third of the cost of my Snap On and more power! If you have a bigger compressor, you will have no problems. I haven't bothered to pull out my 35 gallon compressor yet.

I have one and I have a 3hp twin cylinder 60 gallon 145 psi compressor and I could usually get 2 tires off before the compressor would kick on. Any impact wrench you get will need more volume than 3.5 gallons although you only need around 90 psi to make this one work good.

You haven't provided what your small household compressor's CFM is. You need to have a compressor that can support the at load cfm value for the impact gun. It easily takes the toughest lug nuts off. Good Luck.

2 gallon compressors are not meant to run air tools. You might be able to take a lug nut or two off. Then wait for it to build up pressure but you might as well use hand tools if your going to do that

Not sure what the spec says, but i ran at 110 psi. i ran it with a 3hp 10 gal craftsman compressor and only run the one gun with no problems.

It really depends on how big a cut you need to take. The longer the cut, the more air you need. Check the manual and I believe it has a CFM required.

that is where the cfm rating comes in. many people focus on horse power but that doesent really tell you much. cfm or cubic feet per minute will tell you what you need to know. find the tools you would like to use, for example a framing nailer, and on it's product info, which can be found on amazon or that product's web page, you can find the required cfm and at what pressure or psi. this compressor delivers 2.35cfm at 90lbs of pressure. that is good for light framing, roofing is a bit much for it, no problems with any smaller nail guns. most touch up paint sprayers require quite a bit more than this can do.. in short this is perfect for smaller nail guns, okay for remodel framing, not for production framing.. hope that helps

It needs about 70 to 90 psi. An oil free compressor like this one should be fine.. http://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-D55140-1-Gallon-Trim-Compressor/dp/B000HZJMFM/ref=sr_1_19?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1394059638&sr=1-19&keywords=compressors

I used a 5 gallon pancake compressor which only can handle 3 cfm and I had it set around 90 psi with no problems. Pretty much any air compressor will work.

Here is the answer from the Paslode site. As you will see, it depends upon the number of nails driven per minute. The F350S is a stick nailer not a coil nailer, so the nail magazine must be reloaded about every 75 nails. If you were nailing off flooring or decking, the rate of fire would be much higher than just building walls where the gun must be moved to a new joint location. 13. What size air compressor do I need? You can use the following formula to figure out the size air compressor you need. The Number of Tools being used X the Number of Nails each tool will drive per minute X 1.2 X the Amount of Air per Shot (SCFM) at the operating pressure. This number is found on the chart in the tool schematic and parts list provided with the nailer. For example, if you have two F-350S tools each driving 20 nails per minute with the compressor set at 90 PSI you get: 2 X 20 X 1.2 X .082 = 3.95. The compressor needs to deliver 3.95 CFM at 90 PSI. If you operate the tool at 120 PSI at the same rate the number will be higher: 2 X 20 X 1.2 X .108 = 5.2 CFM. When selecting an air compressor be aware that as the air pressure (PSI) increases, the delivery rate (CFM) goes down. Most compressors will rate the CFM at 50 PSI and at 100 PSI.

The tool will work, but it won't have half as much power as it should. The tool will require more cfm.

10 cfm per minute. Your garage compressor won't cut it - about half tge air volume needed. If you have a small area and can take your time, the garage compressor will be fine.

I'm not sure but the machine more than keeps my engraving tools that use 1 cu. at 90 psi., So far I am very happy with this compressor and keep it right by my work bench while it is runing

all about CFM. If you are using short term yes but if you are using long term problemly not because aircompressor want be able to keep up with output of air needed for tool. I went and bought larger and 5.2cfm rating for longer work time

I had no trouble with this tool on my Bostitch 6 Gal 3.8CFM @ 90 PSI compressor. I did need to use 110PSI, and it could drain the tank in a min, but the tool worked quite well.

Check the cfm out put of the compressor to make sure it can provide the cfm of the sander.

CFM need is 6.1, Most 1/2 inch impacts require around 5-7 CFM. You might need to go with a 3/8 drive for lower CFM.
