Cutting doors

That compressor should run some small air tools just fine. Just don't expect great performance out of something like a d/a sander which consume a lot of air. It'll run it, but will suck the tank dry pretty quick. Air saws are great at cutting sheet metal. So quick.
I use a jig saw. Noisy as hell but it gets the job done. Sometimes, I'll just make relief cuts in a radial pattern and then just bend the metal tabs that are created from the relief cuts back and forth until they snap off. Yeah kinda ghetto but in a pinch it works.

Ross, one spec on that compressor isn't mentioned, cuft/min (cfm).
I remember seeing a chart at HD or ? that listed the different tools cfm requirements and then the different sizes of comps and their cfm output.
It might be online at CH or CP (Chicago Pnumatics, are they still around?).
