It will work with any compressor. I have a one gallon Dewalt compressor which is a small compressor and it worked great. I used it to build a deck.

this compressor is ideal for very lite duty work.not big enough tank to operate air ratchet or impact tools

Yes. You should have a 6 gallon or larger compressor. Mine is 3 gallons and I had to wait for the compressor mto recharge.

Very dicey. A quick trip to Harbor Freight will get you a heavier compressor for not a lot of money. (I have the http://www.harborfreight.com/10-gal-25-hp-125-psi-oil-lube-air-compressor-61490.html )

For the first time/ new to the trade person this is a good question. " they assume we all know a air compressor is needed. that being said I would visit you tube and do your homework. all your questions should be answered there. its what helped me a great deal. pay special attention to the cutting heads and consumables. the more you know the longer they last. also study what kind of regulator you may want. this one works for a short time but you get what you pay for. good luck have fun.

I had a small compressor that I bought at Lowes. not big enough. I have now upgraded to a two stage compressor that does the trick. I was just using too many things at once on the old compressor. I think if I had nothing else hooked up to it I would have been fine.

It uses very low PSI 25-35 depending on your needs. I have a similar compressor and it is more then adequate. It is very easy to clean and does excellent work.

we used an air compressor. if you don't have one, just go to a gas station and use theirs.

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

Hi, yes, an air compressor is required. 90PSI or bigger capacity is recommended. We used 200PSA MAX 8Gallon works perfect.

any cheap 1 galon compressor will do, but if you want later to upgrade I WILL said get at lease a 2 gallon unit

I use a pancake compressor......I think it might be 3/4hp, and it works fine.

I would say at least a 20 gallon compressor or bigger. A pancake compressor is just not big enough to keep up. My 20 gallon I would have to stop now and then to allow it to catch up.

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.

Minimum compressor needed would be 3hp. And even at that the amount of pressure put out at compressor is more important. If spraying alot, you will burn out anything less than 3hp.

Nice little compressor. 19" long x 19 high x 10" wide. Mine had a low pressure issue that ended up being a $4.69 replacement of the quick disconnect.

The air compressor is a must. My husband has one, which I believe he bought at Sears. This thing is really big!
