The specs state SCFM 11.4 @ 100 PSI. My air compressor is 5.1 SCFM@90 PSI. Will this work with my air compressor.?

It will work fine with your compressor. I use it to blow off miter saws and other such equipment. My compressor has a lower SCFM than yours.

I believe it will work fine. My son bought one and uses it on a smaller compressor with no problems.

It should work just fine. I have a Porter-Cable with 2.6 SCFM @90psi and it does a great job.

The amount of SCFM your compressor puts out isn't really going to affect if this Blo-Gun can acheive 11.4 SCFM or not. It will, and it will do so based on, in part, the Venturi effect.

This is not that kind of compressor. It doessn't maintain or shut off at specific psi. It is just for airing up tires.

It is a great compressor but it has a 50% duty cycle my guess is that 5 to 7 CFM continuous at 40 PSI would make it run continuously or more than the 50% duty cycle. It is fine for low volume guns like air brushes and you might be able to use it with an LVLP sprayer if you only sprayed intermittently.

There is no standard answer since factors such as temperature, humidity, water saturation, pipe size at the compressor location all affect the SCFM. If you supply all factors to C.H.'s tech support they will calculate it for ou.

4.0 SCFM @ 90 PSI. I try to use my 3" air cutter but it needs 90 PSI @ 5CFM It is barely enough to make a small cut. Better to use a electric cutting wheel. Hope this helps.

This tool is intended to work off no more than a nominal 90 psi, but given frictional losses in the airhose, you can safely set your compressor to 100 or 110 psi without doing damage. Harmonic balancer bolts may come in various sizes, so an answer is difficult - but I can tell you that I've loosened overtightened wheel nuts (probably run up to 100 lb-ft of torque), though only after boosting compressor output to 100 psi. As for SCFM, keep in mind that such tools are heavy users of compressed air, so continuous running will cause rapid cycling of the compressor, unless you have a commercial/industrial size unit. I use it with a 4 cubic foot receiver and find that adequate for cyclic use - but would expect the compressor to run continuously if the trigger is held down. I'm not sure I believe the assertions that the unit develops 500 lb-ft in the reverse mode, except maybe "instantaneously" since 500 lb-ft would probably shatter a wrist! Additionally, the unit may be stymied by totally rusted bolts, even of moderate size.

you must check the pop off pressure relief setting on your compressor. Otherwise it will work

The Range from 90 to 120 is pretty normal for most air tools. I would dial it down to 115 PSI at the highest end. More pressure is unnecessary, and may prematurely ware out the tool. I personally set my compressor to 90 PSI and only step it up in 10 pound increments if I need more power. If the tool you are using starts having problems that force you to crank up the pressure, then chances are there is more wrong then low pressure on the tool, especially if you increase the pressure beyond the recommended range. Never do that.

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

a small compressor work just fine I set at 80 psi to set a 5/8 pin in 1/2 oak. and 90 for 3/4 inch in oak....

yes it should work with any compressor. That said, the coupler leaks air and with a portable compressor with its limited tank capacity, it means that the compressor motor will turn on more frequently. This kit was too unreliable for me and I ended up buying a quality parts separately.

The manual doesn't provide much information about requirements and settings for this machine. Here is what I have learned through using the machine. I think you need about 5 SCFM @ 90 PSI to be happy with the performance. I have a Campbell Hausfeld compressor with a 13 gallon tank which provides 6.3 SCFM @ 90 PSI and it works very well with the ForceCut 40D. I set the pressure regulator on the machine from 55 to 90 PSI depending on the metal thickness. As an example, 65 PSI and 30 AMPS for 1/4 mild steel. I have cut up to one inch thick steel with mine even though it is only rated for 3/4 inch steel. I would recommend this machine as I have been very pleased with mine.

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.

I run mine @ 90 PSI. I use a Porter Cable pancake at home and a Senco PC1010 on the jobsite. The gun works great with either compressor.

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.

My understanding is that SCFM is generally quoted at normal temperature and pressure (14.7psia). Using the standard formula (P1V1)/T1 = (P2V2)/T2, I would estimate the SCFM as 41.67 (41.67 @ 14.7psia) based on the quoted CFM of 4.9 @ 100PSI. CFM at 90PSI will be 5.341 (5.341 @ 90PSI)

Don't no the answer to the cfm question, but I run my air compressor at 100psi.
