[QUOTE="dave mountain, post: 7648954, member: 148078"] 20 to 40 is about right for a small cabinet, but you should really have a 60cfm+ compressor (approx 10kw+), as otherwise the compressor will be working flat out just to maintain some kind of pressure in the receiver, and you will likely lose pressure at the workpiece. If a tool needs 40cfm you then it need a compressor larger than 40cfm for it to work properly. Remember this is the compressor's max output if it is pumping constantly, which is not what should be happening if you want any kind of longevity from it. It also doesn't consider losses in the pipework/hoses etc. [/QUOTE]
