When choosing a compressor to run an AIR-658 polisher, we rec- ommend a rotary screw type with a minimum of a 5hp motor/15-20 CFM and a 60 gallon tank, per tool. So if you want to run four tools, you will need a compressor with a 20hp motor capability of 80+ CFM and an 80 to 100 gallon storage tank.
