I had to wait on my compressor 4 times to cut the metal piece in the third pic using a 1/16 thick cut off wheel. If you use a 1/32 thick wheel you can increase cutting speed up to 40% in my experience. If you CAN, get a least a 60 gallon with 10+ cfm for restoration purposes. Otherwise, be prepared to wait.
