What is the required CFM and input preassure to run this air hammer to break up concrete

not sure about cfm but I believe its rated at 90 psi run mine in a commercial garage with 150 psi every day wouldn't recommend for concrete busting sounds more like a job for a jack hammer use the right tool for the right job & you'll never have a problem

The manual requires 80 - 100 psi. I am running this on a large compressor, but I see no reason why the tank you are looking at wouldn't work. My BOSTITCH PN50 Mini Impact Nailer can drive a 3-1/2" hot dipped deck framing nail into a 6"x6" post in less than 2 seconds. Don't know how I got along without it.

It really doesn't have that kind of throughput for air tools. I think you'll just overheat it or plain run out of air because the compressor can't keep up. You can run a large nail gun because it's intermittent use. I blow out the garage but, I don't keep my finger on the trigger full-time.

depends on the balancer and how tight it is. I'd run the compressor at what ever tank pressure will consistently read 90psi with the tool running, probably 100 psi or more. I wouldn't go lower than 4.5-5 CFM, but it'll want more like 10-15 cfm under full load. Compressor ratings are for constant usage, your usage is momentary for an impact wrench. I have a 33gal compressor that'll do about 4.9 cfm and that's adequate. Next compressor is going to be a 60-80 gal though, but not specifically for this tool.

The owners manual says 0.025 ft^3/cycle at 100psi, 0.023 ft^3/cycle at 90psi and 0.019 ft^3/cycle at 80psi. It also gives the following formula for cfm calculation, "Amount of air required = number of Nailers x average nails driven each minute per Nailer x air consumption at given pressure x safety factor (always 1.2)"

This tank is not designed to operate air tools. 100 psi might drive a few Brads or staples, but the pressure will go down with each one. Works great for topping off tires

You could but it would take an awfully long time! I bought it to break up some concrete in the basement and I wish I would've bought a larger model. I'd go with the Bosch, Dewalt, or Hilti large jack hammers.

It uses 17cfm@90psi. 90psi is the operating pressure. You would need at least a 60-80 gallon 2 stage 175 psi air compressor.

I used this model to break up an old 6" thick concrete fence post footing, so demo'ing concrete stairs should be OK. remember to start on a corner or edge, so the cracked pieces can fall away and not jam. this unit has about 3-5 times to breaking power of the typical smaller 1" rotary hammers, so much better for demo use.

Almost any compressor has the pressure to run any air tool where the "requirements" factor comes into play is volume measured in cfm. This riveter like a nailer is sn impulse tool as opposed to say a grinder which is constant rotation. Impulse tools require very little cfm only a small tank.You can probably get away with 3 or even 2 cfm and a gallon or two tank around 90-100 psi. A bit more than your average finishing nailer.

CFM need is 6.1, Most 1/2 inch impacts require around 5-7 CFM. You might need to go with a 3/8 drive for lower CFM.

it runs a pneumatic hammer just fine, but not a cut off tool. impact wrench will work fine as well. it will have to run frequently as the reserve capacity is small for the twin tanks. just pay attention to the scfm @90psi for this compressor (4.3) vs. the tool you want to use. it will run every tool for a short time, but then there will be a long down time for the compressor to catch up.

works really well with 3800 psi which was well above recommended pressure. with a concrete cleaner, looked like a commercial wash.

That's not to small, I mostly use a small pancake compressor with my flooring nailer and framing nailer, it keeps up just fine, it puts out under 3cfm at 90psi, I usually set the compressor at 100 psi for the flooring and framing nailer, and 90psi for my finish nailers.

that is where the cfm rating comes in. many people focus on horse power but that doesent really tell you much. cfm or cubic feet per minute will tell you what you need to know. find the tools you would like to use, for example a framing nailer, and on it's product info, which can be found on amazon or that product's web page, you can find the required cfm and at what pressure or psi. this compressor delivers 2.35cfm at 90lbs of pressure. that is good for light framing, roofing is a bit much for it, no problems with any smaller nail guns. most touch up paint sprayers require quite a bit more than this can do.. in short this is perfect for smaller nail guns, okay for remodel framing, not for production framing.. hope that helps

I believe at 90 lb the unit puts out 4.5 cfm. that might be enough for light duty impact wrench use but I think your thinking major use.

Sorry but you'll need a 36 gallon tank with a sufficient compressor to boot to run an air sander like this. The small Porter Cable compressor is good for about 10-15 seconds the first time you pull trigger and decreases to almost nothing within a minute or two. Don't fell bad I made the same assumption and mistake
