Will this run off of a pancake compressor?

yes, but you may get just a couple of nails out before it won't work, not enough air tank space. need more tank mass for this.
2083616
Yes it will. However because of the small volume/amount of compressed air in a pancake compressor your rate of nailing will be lower and your compressor will be running more often.
2083617
Yes it will. I run off a pancake with 100 feet of hose and have no problems at all.

From the manual. "AIR CONSUMPTION:The RN46 requires 3.9 cubic feet per minute (.11 cubic meters) of free air to operate at the rate of 100 nails per minute, at 80 p.s.i. (5.6 kg/cm). Take the actual rate at which the tool will be run to determine the amount of air required. For instance, if your fastener usage averages 50 nails per minute, you need 50% of the tool's c.f.m. which is required to operate the tool at 100 nails per minute."

Yes. I use it with a small Bosch oiless pancake compressor. Terrific nailer. Vinyl siding adapter available

I no expert ...but I think it might damage the compressor to operate it that way.....also it is really a top load design....but overall I really like the unit....better than I expected....fast cooling times

I use an upright type shop compressor and I think anything smaller and the compressor would have to run nearly constantly to try and keep up. I've used mine to blast with glass, walnut , & sand . all with no problems. I also use a large tarp as a back drop to later collect the abrasive for reuse

We run our compressors to cycle between 115psi off and 95psi on,have not had any problems yet ,keep it lubricated

I run it with a regular compressor. But you might want a holding tank if you are going to use it alot. Its pretty taxing on the smaller compressors.

I really couldn't say for sure, I use it for auto tires. I believe the compressor would be running most of the time as the tank is small and kicks on soon after starting a tire fill.

It would depend on the appliance you were running off the cylinder. Most appliances have their own integral regulator.

Any compressor. But if the compressor is small, will have to stop and let it catch up

I would say no...The unit gets pretty warm after each batch and seems to take longer to make each succeeding batch (I have made three in a row)...Would not want to do a fourth as I think it would start harming the compressor...

I wouldn't recommend it. You'll hole the heat into the compressor and that wouldn't be healthy for the compressor. It needs to breath.

I wouldn't. It constantly bleeds air off causing the compressor to run more.

My employee is using mine with a pancake compressor at home, so I don't see why your compressor won't work.

It will work but the compressor will be running all the time plus sometimes you might run out of air

It runs a Compressor with a belt. I guess it depends on how much resistance there is when your grinding. It should start with no problem.

Yes it will run at minimum speed until the temp call for the compressor to come ON.

this one has that feature and is a very quiet running compressor; I recommend it highly. The only downside is the small tank. I added a 5 gallon propane tank for extra volume. With a ball valve cutoff between the tank and compressor, I can use it or not.

Any compressor that is 100 to 120 psi. The bigger the compressor the less it runs and hold the psi to keep it going . I use a pancake compressor it works fine. I have used it on Hardwood flooring and works fine.
