Cuts well with less air than most other filters. Easily suffocated, but nothing serious. I run this on my 12 gallon HF compressor. It stalls for maybe a minute before the tank gets too low, then I wait for the supercharger to catch up. The only complaint is that oil leaks from the bearing onto the workpiece. I've used an RF cutting tool for years and complain that it uses a lot more air than advertised and isn't as powerful. I eventually used it to the point where it actually leaked out of the oil and started using more air than my regulator could supply. I replaced it with a cobalt tool and it splattered oil on the front to the point where the blade wouldn't even spark, so it came back after 1 cut. Then I found this Dewalt for less money. I recommend this if you don't have a large compressor.
