Good Day List,

I'm planning on buying an air compressor to do some body panel replacement
work on my 62 B.  I intend on using the compressor to run such tools as:
DA sander
die grinder/cut off tool
grinder
chisel (with crimping tool)
paint spraying

Until I get my workshop/garage built I do not want to buy a large (60+gal)
stationery 240v unit.  I am looking at a Porter Cable Model CPL6025 (belt
driven and not oil free) 6HP, 25 gallon, 135 PSI, 6.8scfm @90psi.  Will this
be sufficient for operating above tools?  Porter Cables info indicates it will
(for various short length of times), but when I see the scfm requirements of
various tools, they show higher scfm requirements than the compressor.
Hopefully one of you have had experience/knowledge with this size unit.

Thanks for the help,

Tom
