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.

I need to do some touch up painting - I have a portable 8 gallon - can you use this for paint or do paint guns you as much air as shopt tools.

 

Well i bought my 60 gal Coleman compressor from Costco here in Lancaster.....it is 220 and i have no problems using any air tools, was doing some body work using a DA and 2 hours went by and i didnt have to stop once for the air to rebuild, it was about $450.....my 2 cents

 

Lucky you ! Is this at your home ? Did you set up a 220 line or was there one already there ?
