Air Compressor CFM Needed for my Air Tools

If you are wondering what type and size air tools you can run with air compressor. We have no provided a handy chart. You can use this chart as a reference to find out what kinds of tools and equipment your air compressor can handle. Most air tools run at 90 to 100 psi but there CFM requirements can vary dramatically. For example a die grinder only requires 4 CFM while a disc sander needs around 20 CFM to operate effectively. Both of these air tools are rated at 90 PSI. Its a common misconception that pressure or engine horsepower determines what an air compressor can run. Really, its the CFM that will make you or break you. So if you are running out to buy some air tools look no further than this chart to make sure your shop air compressor can handle it.

Gas Air Compressor

I am looking for a portable gas air compressor to use around farm. I need one that is relatively easy to move around but I also need more power than your typical small portable air compressor. I would need to be able to run an impact wrench, nail gun and other air tools.

I think a good gas air compressor for you to consider is the Ingersoll Rand 8 gallon, 5.5 horsepower wheel barrow air compressor. This type of gas air compressor is referred to as "wheel barrow" because a wheel is mounted in between the 2 tanks and it has handles on the other end. This enables you to move it around like a wheel barrow. This unit is large enough to power most air tools and has a good size air tank. Its a good compromise between size and power. The wheel barrow design allows it to be moved around a job site with ease and its has large 5.5 horsepower gas engine to power it.
