We have a Porter Cable pancake compressor which lists the power at 2.6 SCFM at 90psi - is it enough to still use with this? At a higher PSI perhaps?

Sorry Justine, don't know for sure. I run mine off a big factory compressor. Yours might work if your material you put through it is thin. I use mine to spray fabric glue, its pretty thick. It pretty much spatters it out, which works great for me.

I would think it would work okay, I have a little larger one but I have to turn the pressure down. This is a great product and I use it often.

I have one of those Porter Cable compressors I got for a brad nailer, and the Critter works fine with it. You won't need anything like 90 PSI, either. If you use too much pressure, the spray will be very dry and dusty.

No Problem...These don't take much airflow to be effective. I use to use the same setup and was never at a loss for spray.Good Luck!

I have a comparable pancake compressor and it works great with the critter sprayer. In fact I find it works better if you turn it down.

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

As others have said, Power = Volts x Amps (so, 120w) but that is a steady state figure and your compressor is likely to pull up to twice that on start-up with no-load until the motor settles down. So, 300w will be safe. However, if you can afford the 500w transformer, go for it.

Yes the one I bought I used it with my shop compressor. You just need to keep the pressure regulated under 41lbs. or it will blow off the ends that connect it. Happened to me once no big deal really I just pushed it back on and kept the pressure down and works for me.

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

Couldn't tell you..mine was DOA out of the box. Sent it back and went over to Home Depot and purchased this Porter Cable unit and couldn't be happier: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Porter-Cable-3-5-Gal-135-psi-Pancake-Compressor-PCFP02003/203254365?N=5yc1vZc27pZ68y Stay away from this piece of garbage.

The CFM of this compressor is O.8CFM @ 90 psi. Use is best for filling tire pressure etc. not for heavy use such as spray painting.

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.

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.

Just saw your more accurate question. Any compressor delivering between 60 and 100 psi will work. Another number to look for on the compressor is 4.1 to 6.9 BAR. Mikita makes a good unit.

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 ran it at about 100psi using Bostich pancake compressor for 3/4" prefinished hickory.

I run mine At 90 psi or less. A small compressor is perfect for this nailer. The pin nails are small and hold well. I use it for finish work on small items and to hold items when I am gluing.

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

I have a DeWalt Emglo 4.5 gal. 5.4 scfm compressor that will go to 200 psi in the tanks. It is on wheels and works great!

Not sure about the SCFM but I have a Sears 1.5 hp 12 gal compressor. I run it at 60 psi and it has been fine for me. Very pleased with the nailer.

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