Well, At the time I bought it, I didn't really think to look at CFM but now that I use more air tools than when I bought it... CFM Is Very important.
I just found a 60 gallon tank on Craigslist with a blown motor so I might buy that and fix it and just tank this compressor to my house. Maybe it would be easier to just go to Lowes or Tractor supply and get a 60 gallon with a decent motor!?
