What kind of air compressor do I need and can you cut expanded metal with it?

I have a 100 gal air tank with an electric compressor. Not sure on the size but works great. Cuts expanded metal very easily and faster than a torch or cutting blade

If your air pressure drops below 80 pounds, you don't get a clean cut. Either you get a higher cfm compressor or you expect wait time. Yes, you can cut expanded metal but you have to re-establish your arc after each air space - not much of a problem, however be sure to hook up your ground to the "positive" terminal when using the plasma cutter.

you need to get a bigger compressor. To run those type of air tools I would suggest at least 33 gal for constant pressure.

I had to cut the metal and I used my neighbor 's oscillating saw but I think a hack saw would work too if you have a vice to hold the metal piece.

Yes. The compressor takes the standard hose adapters for pneumatic tools, spray guns, tire inflators etc. Most nailers do not consume that much air anyway.

Yes you would need a pretty large sized compressor. What I thing they are referring to is the fact that this dual action sander does not freewheel like other DAs. Hope that helps.

Dear friend, I believe it is a compressor 3 to 6 AMPS, This is a cut in pressure switch operating On when pressure drops below 90 psi to 100 psi it cuts in and over 120- it cuts offif it is in the above range and single phase you can use on your present compressoe _

We used an air compressor. I was killing myself trying to blow it up manually-- almost impossible!!

Other than contacting the Manufacturer, I really don't know unless you go to a store that sells air compressors and see if maybe they can make or have a hose in stock or they can steer you in the right direction. Good Luck!

Yes, but you may need to buy different accessories to accomplish your specific tasks. I love this compressor, but the included accessories are notches below in quality, compared to the compressor itself.

You need a compressor with a tank for airbrush. This compressor is not going to work for you.

I would think a 3 gallon compressor would work well. I use mine to blow off the mower deck and air filters on various types.

Hi, I sometimes use a 2hp 8gal 125psi compressor that I bought at Harbor Freight Tools. It seems to work well but I have to wait for it to catch up and always try to use the plasma cutter just before the compressor shuts off. I had to buy a high volume female fitting (Milton Brand) because I had problems with the regular cheaper female fitting sometimes not letting air through.

You need a compressor that provides 80 - 100 psi. I would recommend a Porter Cable pancake compressor or something similar.

A porter cable pancake style air compressor will work just fine also bostitch pancake,, those are about the smallest that I would use and anything bigger is just gravy

Needs an air compressor, I'd recommend one with a 10-gallon capacity for any serious work.

yes you can ,air compressor is better . because you can regulate air to the air brush

you need to first find the requirements of the sandblast uint, then choose a compressor.but this unit is so small that only a jeweler would use it for sandblasting.
