Will this tank provide enough psi to run your porter cable framing nailer if used at a slow pace?

I use a hitachi clipped nail framing nailer with this PC pancake compressor. I fire 3" ring shank nails fast and it keeps up all day, 5 days a week.

Yes! No need to use 'at a slow pace'. I run my Dewalt framer on it without any problems.

It will but recover is the key I would recommend http://www.factoryauthorizedoutlet.com/makita/makita-air-compressor-2-5-hp or http://rolair.net/products/spec_pages/hand_carry/FC2002.html#specs as far as speed and recovery.

Yes, I am not a professional framer or a carpenter, so for use of occasional wood work, the size of the tank seem to work just fine.

I did the research in your case and the answer is that it can't and here is why.1) The compressor you have has a very small air storage capacity. It's perfect for nailguns but paint guns require a lot of air storage ready to flow.2) Here are your compressor specs. 2.6 SCFM which is basically the air per minute (cubic feet per minute). The air gun requires 4.3 SCFM at 40 psi (pounds per square inch). You're is 90 psi so it can handle that but the air flow. In other words, you have the pressure but not the air capacity.

I use a 2.5 horsepower 10 gallon compressor and it has plenty of air to do the job with the framing nailer. Currently set it between 90 to 100lbs and it has great penatration. The 15 and 18 gauge nailers use less air and I adjust the air pressure to anywhere between 45 to 80 lbs depends on the material I am using and again it works great. With the 10 gallon compressor you have a light weight unit that you can move around if needed and you never run out of air even on big jobs. Of course if you have a larger compressor, it will be a mute point. Excellent nailers and work well with 10 gallon oil type compressors.

that compressor is fine the nail gun operates at 120 max. I was running the gun around 100 to 110 psi No Problems.

I have used this Porter Cable pin nailer with psi below 100. (Range is 70 psi min. & 100 psi max) I have driven 1/2", 3/4" & 1" pins at 80 psi. It is a wonderful tool and I reccommend it highly.

Yes it did a great job of driving these nails. The 1 3/4 inch nail is what I used. I just turned down the output from the compressor to about 80 psi and went to work. There are also depth adjustments on the gun itself. I only used mine for one job and then put it back into a box until next time that I might need it. I am really happy with this purchase. Hope this helps.Mike. (Joy is my wife)

I had no trouble with this tool on my Bostitch 6 Gal 3.8CFM @ 90 PSI compressor. I did need to use 110PSI, and it could drain the tank in a min, but the tool worked quite well.

Yes, I think that is what this is intended for. Brad nailers and other small compressed air guns. Anything bigger and the tank runs out too fast.

Basically most compressors would work with the pin nailer. It does not take a lot of pressure to operate this gun. I would stick with a top brand name. Porter Cable has a "pancake" style compressor that could be purchased at HD or Lowes. I have that compressor and 6 different Porter Cable guns including the pin 138.

I have a 15 Gallon Porter Cable with 5.7 cuft @ 90 psi air delivery. That works but not at full speed.More would be better. So if you have less power than mine I think it will be frustrating !

Yes. it will take a minute or two to pump up from minimum pressure, but it should be no problem.

I use it with my pancake dewalt compressor, it's used to run my framing nailer also.

Tools using continuous air, or blowing, I don't think it would maintain enough pressure. Works great for nail guns, pumping up tires.

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.

Depends on how fast one works it. I've been using it on the regular 5 gallon apprx. 4 scfm at 90 psi compressor just fine. You may consider upgrading your air supply if you have more than one guy shooting.

Your pancake compressor will handle the Porter Cable nail gun. I use a pancake compressor and never have had a problem.

Mine can run up to 125 psi but I don't generally use it that high. I can run a framing nailer or a roofing nailer at 90 psi and it operates efficiently. I have a friend that runs two guns off it at around 100 psi.
