We just purchased an Amada 2415 and plan on cutting sheet metal at thicknesses up to .125 both steel and stainless. What cfm and psi requirements would be needed in purchasing and air compressor for the shop to accomplish this? Thanks for any response, Aqua Delta

The only time I have seen it work okay was with 200psi. That requires a big compressor.
The quick answer is 10cfm for the machine, 10 for the dust collector, 15cfm for cutting. 10 hp on the low side, 20 would be better.

This is on LVD 3kw Electra.
