View Full Version : what air compressor size needed to blow out pads?
Is a 6-gallon pancake compressor enough to be able to blow out buffing pads after being washed?
A Porter-Cable C2002 shows 2.6 CFM @ 90 psi and 3.7 CFM @ 40 psi.
I have a "big" air compressor at home, but I need a portable one.

I use a 6 gallon Porter Cable compressor and it works good, since it’s small it’ll run more often but it definitely keeps up.

Would a smaller 1-3 gallon work for this?

As your starting out it’ll work fine, but after awhile you’ll tire of hearing it constantly going. Thats when you’ll upgrade to a bigger one, I just upgraded from my 6 gallon last summer to a 26gal and life is so much better.
