So I get an Ingersoll-Rand IR429 mini air reciprocating saw for a gift.

Does anyone have one of these and run it on a Porter-Cable pancake
compressor? I'm concerned about the air requirements.

Once I try it, I don't think the place will take it back. Not a Borg item.

A quick google search says it needs 8 cfm. Your pancake compressor
might be good for about 1/2 of that.

Which means you can run it for a time, then you have to wait until the
reserve builds up again. Expect no more than 50% run time with the
compressor running 100% of the time.

Thanks. That's what I was seeing and why I asked. There is also 90 PSIG/Max
spec on the tool itself.

You could get an extra tank to get a little more run time out of it,
but saws like that are typically used in auto body work, where the
supply of air is virtually limitless.
