Here's the part people don't understand about compressors... The tank just holds air at a set psi (Max and min) -- once the minimum setting is reached -- the motor and pump kick on... if they ARE NOT capable of producing more air than is required by the tool -- they'll never catch up.
That's why just matching the numbers of the tool with a compressor that is rated @ LESS or almost the same doesn't work. It doesn't matter how big the storage tank is -- that just gives you a "use time" BEFORE the compressor has to kick on -- but then once it does - it's going to run full blast and never catch up.
People don't realize how seriously annoying that is. Not having enough air to just do the work - AND listening to the stupid compressor run and run and run.
