Tom is probably about right. I have an air ROS that is supposed to use
4CFM @ 90PSI. I have two smallish air compressors that I have measured at about 7CFm each @ 90 PSI. They cannot keep up with the ROS. Same for an air chiphammer I have.Cheap ones are awful. When I asked I was told that it's some BS about "average use" in a shop, because they expect several tools to be used intermittently (yeah right! An intermittent ROS.......I guess only Frazier would understand....)
They guy I was talking to said that the tool would probably need a good 20-25CFm comp to run flat out full time.
