                Q:Will this run air tools such as grinders and buffers for some amounts of time?
                by|Apr 6, 2016
                1 Answer
                Answer This Question

                A:  The Powermate 30 Gal. Portable Electric Air Compressor is the very minimum size air compressor to run selected die grinders intermittently and by a single user. For a more satisfactory experience, we recommend an air compressor with at least 6.0 SCFM @ 90 PSI or higher to accommodate these higher air consumption grinding or sanding air tools. Powermate offers a 60 gallon air compressor with 11.5 SCFM @ 90 PSI.
