Yes, I checked with the tool manufacturer and they say it needs 20 scfm @ 90.
I also found this website, which seems pretty helpful (despite all the ads..):

Thanks folks for you help! I am a much more informed buyer now!
thanks for the great info!
So, what I'm gathering is:
1) scfm doesn't change (much) with psi on a recip compressor, but it DOES on a screw type compressor
(you are correct that the kaeser link points to rotary screw compressors)
2) acfm does change a good bit with psi. but that must...
Can you clarify this a bit for me?
1) Since the two pressures I'm always comparing are 175 and 90, can I simply use this:
listed cfm @ 175 * 1.81 = acfm @ 90
?
2) A powder spray gun I have requires exactly 90 psi, which is set by a gauge on the tool. Does this gauge qualify as a...
Thank you! You guys are great.
This is exactly what I was referring to - the acfm vs scfm. I was becoming very confused because it seems that some retailers are listing acfm, some scfm. It's hard to know which one the manufacturer is using on their website, and then when you call a retailer...
Has anyone shopped for an air compressor lately?
It's amazing how far retailers will go in providing exaggerated/skewd/completely misleading info on these things. Due to this, I have a question:
-Is there a simple formula for working with cubic feet per minute (cfm) and PSI?
Ex: If you...
