what cfm does it require?

Air consumption is 5.5 to 9.2 cfm per the user manual. I use mine with a 15-gallon, 5.4 CSFM @ 90 psi Dewalt compressor and have no complaints.

Specs claim this HVLP operates between 43-50#,and consumes 5.5-9.2 CFM perspectively. If you're using thin material on a small project, you might get by with minimum air delivery. I use a 6hp - 8.6 cfm. Sears 30gal compressor. The air delivery allows the use of all materials including slightly thick Latex paint. The flow in constant and consistent, plus I can fine tune a fan pattern with all the adjustment this inexpensive little gun has to offer. Don't blame your gun if you don't have the power to push it.

I use this on a Makita mac2400 air compressor rated at 4.8cfm @ 40psi but I've added an additional 3 gal tank to it. (see my review on it) I have to wait for compressor recharge and the additional tank capacity helps a lot but it works just fine with between 4.5 to 5.5 cfm for me.

Bosch's manual for the FNS138-23 (page 11) gives a formula for calculating the CFM. Then, as an example, state:One nail per second @100 psi requires 1.1CFM. It varies linearly with nails/sec..

Not sure about CFM's but it runs @ 1700rpm on high & 1200rpm on medium. Moves a pretty good amount of air on high & will last about 1hr 45min on that setting with a fresh charged 18v 3amh battery.

From the Air King web site, going from high speed to med to low, CFM is spec'd at: 1650 / 1470 / 1180.

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.

Dave, I'm not an engineer, so I don't speak the eng jargon. That said, The spec indicates 2200 CFM. That's in a test situation. If you plan to use the fan in a vehicle, CFM through the fan will depend on how well you seal the attaching ducting. Your real consideration would be through the radiator, however. They don't give wattage or amp draw in specs, too bad. You would have to contact the mfgr for that. I would guess five amps, but that's just a guess. I have mine fused at 15 amps. No problems yet. RE: your static pressures question, you could extrapolate from assumed 2200 at sea level and probably get pretty close.

I don't know how to calculate cfm. The fan has 2 speeds. On high it blows about the same as an electric plug in fan. I highly recommend this fan.

Avg Air Consumption: 4.3(CFM - Under Load) Air Flow Pressure: 90 - 120 (psi) That is from Aircat site.

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

I use it with an air compressor that puts out 17 to 25 cfm with no problem. If you need to use it non stop for long periods of time, a 2HP air compressor can not keep up.

I think a 600 CFM is a little too small. Personally I would look at a 700 or 750 CFM.

Neither the box nor the fan itself doesn't state what the CFM is. However, it will keep you cool while you're sleeping if you don't have power. I wish I had them (I bought 2) when we lost power two weekends last year.

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

Dont know the CFM, but the fan is fairly quiet. Keeps the master bedroom ventilated at night without keeping me awake. Sorry not more details.

Don't know the CFM, but these things have been running 24/7 at my local gym for at least the last four years. They are very robust -- industrial. Nothing like cheaper consumer fans.

Wondering those specs myself and I found this on another website: CFM/AMP Information: Inline Fan 4" - 171 CFM / 1 AMP Inline Fan 6" - 435 CFM / 1 AMP Inline Fan 8" - 745 CFM / 1.7 AMPS Inline Fan 10" - 780 CFM / 2.1 AMPS Inline Fan 12" - 1060 CFM / 2.5 AMPS

Don't know the cfm but this thing works like a champ! Set it and forget it! It does come with a fan.
