This air compressor is rated at 7.1 cfm at 40 psi and 5.5 cfm at 90 psi. If you try to used this with tools that are rated over the compressor you will not have sufficient force to drive the tools.

answer 2
It will work but you will have to wait until the compressor to catch up. The pump will stay running and this compressor will handle it but it will empty the tank very fast. Run the tool in short bursts only to allow the compressor to catch up

Question

Does it have a pressure switch and auto operation ?

Does it have an automatic operating mode with a pressure switch that turns the motor off at the high pressure setting and turns it back on at the low pressure setting ? This would be in addition to manual on and off switch positions.
