Sorry I meant something.that does 1 at 30 won't cut it for something that needs. .5 at 60Your assumption was correct but the way I think you came to the 1cfm number wouldn't normally work.
Output cfm decreases with pressure.
Usually a compressor that could do 1.5 at 40 can only do 1 at 90
Or say 3.5 at 40 maybe 4.5 at 90
So something that does 1cfm at 30 won't do .5 at 60.
It drops even more with bigger bores.
Anyhow that compressor will cover you great but wouldn't be great for whipping out 20 shirts a day or something.
It has roughly 1cfm, probably at 40psi, guessing .8 at 60 or .9 at 60 roughly So its not quite there for constant use but it is adequate.
Rule of thumb is to shoot for double the cfm your going to use.
This is because most smaller (less tHan 3hp)compressor motors have 50 percent duty cycle.
Big 5HP can have 80 to 100 percent so spray gun setups often get away with less.
They're often over rated so a little extra doesn't hurt.
So something rated around 1cfm at 90psi
Or 1.5 at 40
Will cover you running 60psi.
This is what i got @peejay, you should be able to source something similar in Perth,
I'd use this one inside without major noise concerns. if you plan on using a spray gun, you'd likely be doing it outside/in the shed so any of the standard workshop compressors from bunnings will do the job, just dont expect them to be very quiet, but on the upside they dont cut in very often.
