Choosing the Right Air Die Grinder. Die grinder air tool
What Size Air Compressor Do I Need for a Die Grinder?
If you have a die grinder or you’re looking to purchase one for a project at home or in the workshop, you may now be wondering what size air compressor you need to run this die grinder.
This page will serve as a guide to what size air compressor you need for your die grinder by presenting all the key considerations and relevant information!
Key Considerations – Choosing an Air Compressor for a Die Grinder
Intermittent or Continuous Die Grinder Use?
The first, and very important consideration, is whether you require continuous or intermittent use out of your compressor for your die grinder’s work.
If you only require intermittent use of your die grinder then a small compressor may provide enough to power it but if you require continuous use then the compressor has to have the discharge capacity that the die grinder demands.
A typical use cycle on a die grinder in a non-assembly line environment is likely to be far less than 50% of the time drawing its full CFM rating.
What CFM Rating Die Grinder Have You Bought or Are You Considering Buying?
Die grinders come with CFM ratings, often expressed as SCFM ratings (as it’s a standardized unit). This rating can also be expressed as its “Air Consumption”. I will now provide you with some examples of small, medium, and large die grinders.
Example of a Small Die Grinder
Here’s an example of a small die grinder, this Workpad 3.0 CFM mini die grinder is equipped with 1/4″ and 1/8″ collets.
- 【Supports narrow jobs】This mold grinder has a free speed of up to 25,000, small size and high power, making it suitable for working in tight spaces

Example of a Medium Die Grinder
This 1/4″ 20,000 RPM Ingersoll Rand air die grinder is a medium-sized offering that provides an average air consumption of 5 CFM.
- MAX GRINDING: Ingersoll Rand Air Die Grinder 5102MAX is powered by compressed air, not electric, and its 0.4 HP and 20,000 RPM motor delivers the power you need for the toughest jobs

Example of a Large Die Grinder
Here’s an example of a larger 1/4″ 24,000 RPM Chicago Pneumatic die grinder. It is rated at an average of 10.5 CFM.

Product and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on [relevant Amazon Site(s), as applicable] at the time of purchase will apply to the purchase of this product.
What Pressure Rating Die Grinder Have You Bought or Are You Considering Buying?
All air tools, with air die grinders being no exception, have a recommended operating pressure.
The Workpad mini air die grinder as an example has a stated recommended operating pressure of 90 PSI as per the technical specifications on the Amazon listing. This is a commonly recommended pressure for many air tools as can be validated by the other two die grinder ratings.
The Ingersoll Rand die grinders manual states a recommended tool pressure of 90 PSI.
And, the Chicago Pneumatic’s die grinders manual states that you should supply the tool with 90 PSI of clean, dry air and not exceed this.
Air Compressor Duty Cycle
The typical duty cycle of an air compressor is 50% more often than not, as can be seen in this Craftsman 919 manual. It states that the maximum compressor pumping time per hour is 30 minutes (a 50% duty cycle).
If you want to know more about air compressor duty cycles, and how they’re expressed and calculated, you should read my article on air compressor duty cycles.
Here’s another example of a product manual that describes the duty cycle of a compressor in these terms:
“INTERMITTENT DUTY FORMULA
Pump-up time should not ordinarily exceed thirty (30) minutes or be less than ten (10) minutes. Shutdown periods between cycles of operation should be at least equal to the pump-up time. Note: When the compressor is regulated by constant speed control, the shutdown period is the time the compressor is operating unloaded.“
This is describing a 50% Duty Cycle.
CFM Delivery Capability of the Air Compressor
CFM ratings of air compressors tend to be based on the output of the air compressor pump.
However, to understand what ability the air compressor has to deliver CFM continuously you need to multiply the CFM rating by the Duty Cycle percentage.
So an Air Compressor CFM rating of 10 CFM with a 50% Duty Cycle would have the ability to deliver:
10 CFM 50% = 5 CFM
Example of an Air Compressor Suitable for a Small Die Grinders
Here’s an example of a small air compressor that delivers 2.4 CFM – and the product manual describes what would be determined as a 50% duty cycle. Therefore the compressor would actually deliver 1.2 CFM (2.4 CFM 50%).
- QUIET: The DC080500 air compressor is up to 50% quieter than comparable compressors, producing just 68 dBA which it makes the unit ideal for indoor and outdoor use
pulled from the Amazon Product Advertising API on:
Product and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on [relevant Amazon Site(s), as applicable] at the time of purchase will apply to the purchase of this product.
This would be suitable for a small die grinder given that you only require intermittent use. But, this compressor wouldn’t be suitable for continuous use on any of the die grinders presented in this article.
The small Workpad die grinder requires 3 CFM, if the use was intermittent and only needed 25% of the time (15 minutes per hour), then the grinder only requires 0.75 CFM (3 25%). Therefore, this compressor would be capable of providing that that CFM.
However, if you are required to use the die grinder on a 50% duty cycle, the grinder would require 1.5 CFM (4 50%). The air compressor running at its recommended 50% duty cycle would not be able to provide the necessary amount of CFM required by the die grinder.
It would only be able to provide the 1.5 CFM requirement if you overworked the compressor by running it on a 90-100% duty cycle which is strongly not recommended.
Example of an Air Compressor Suitable for a Medium Die Grinders
Here’s an example of an air compressor that is rated 5.30 CFM – and though the product manual does not describe the duty cycle, a customer QA response has declared that the compressor has a 70/30 (70%) duty cycle. What would be determined as 20-25 minutes rest after each hour’s use.
pulled from the Amazon Product Advertising API on:
Product and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on [relevant Amazon Site(s), as applicable] at the time of purchase will apply to the purchase of this product.
Therefore, this air compressor is actually capable of delivering 3.71 CFM (5.3 70%). This is just about sized for continuous use of the 3 CFM Workpad die grinder.
However, if the die grinder is only required to be used intermittently (50% of the time) then this compressor is suitable for not only the Chicago Pneumatic die grinder but also the medium Ingersoll Rand die grinder (6 CFM 50% = 3 CFM).
If you were to obtain a die grinder with a CFM of below 3.71 CFM then this compressor would be capable of delivering continuous use to that tool.
Example of a Large Air Compressor Suitable for Large Die Grinders
Here’s an example of a large Air compressor, the Ingersoll-Rand 8 Gallon twin compressor capable of delivering 11.5 CFM with a 100% continuous duty cycle.
- Portable Design: Lightweight with excellent manueverability even on the roughest terrain, perfect for environments where electricity is unavailable
pulled from the Amazon Product Advertising API on:
Product and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on [relevant Amazon Site(s), as applicable] at the time of purchase will apply to the purchase of this product.
This compressor is suitable for providing continuous use to the small, medium, or large die grinders provided. It could even power both the small Workpad and medium Ingersoll Rand die grinders simultaneously.
If this compressor were to have a 50% duty cycle however and provide 5.75 CFM (11.5 50%) it would only be able to power the small Workpad die grinder continuously.
It would consequently no longer be able to provide continuous use to the medium or large die grinder when working with a 50% duty cycle, but instead could work intermittently if the Ingersoll rand tool required 3 CFM (6 50%) and the Chicago Pneumatic tool required 5.25 CFM (10.5 50%).
Example of an Extra Large Air Compressor Suitable for Powering Multiple Die Grinders Simultaneously
Here’s an example of an industrial air compressor that delivers 38 CFM – and the product manual describes what would be determined as a 100% duty cycle.
- Quiet, Industrial Air Compressor designed for up to 50,000 hours of use (with proper maintenance) and features low RPM pumps
pulled from the Amazon Product Advertising API on:
Product and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on [relevant Amazon Site(s), as applicable] at the time of purchase will apply to the purchase of this product.
This is a stationary compressor, that has a continuous run automatic stop/start feature, making it capable of powering the small, medium and large die grinders continuously and all of them at once!!
Air Compressor Tank Size (Compressed Air Storage Capacity)
The tank size will determine how much air is available to be drawn down at any time. This is also a key enabler in keeping a compressor within its duty cycle.
Therefore a 10 CFM compressor with a 50% Duty Cycle can be used to run an air die grinder that’s rated at 10 CFM – if used intermittently with a sufficiently large air tank.
To keep a compressor running for at least 10 minutes with a die grinder consuming 10 Cubic Feet of air per minute for 50% of the time, the storage capacity would be:
10 CFM 10 minutes 50% = 50 Cubic Feet of air (at atmospheric pressure (15PSI))
As atmospheric pressure is 15 PSI and the output pressure is 90 PSI and pressure and volume are inversely proportional 15 PSI / 90 PSI = 6
Therefore, you need 1/6th the volume of air at 90 PSI
50 Cubic Feet 1/6th = 8.3 Cubic Feet
8.3 Cubic Feet = 236 Litres
This is an example to give you a basic idea of the capacity needed, based on a die grinder’s minimum running time of 10 minutes.
Distance You’ll Be Using the Die Grinder From the Compressor (Hose Length)
Long hoses will result in pressure drop. Though I could not find any recommendations in any of the Die Grinder manuals presented in this article. It can be generally recommended that the hose should be just long enough to serve the working area.
If you have a hose over 25 feet long then you should compensate for the pressure drop to ensure that your tool is receiving the correct operating pressure.
For further information on air hoses visit our Air Compressor Hose Tube Guide.
Response
The easy answer is…yes it will. The tougher answer is not very well and not for but a few seconds before you run out of air.
If you’re relying on your little compressor to provide enough air to use your die grinder for long periods of time… and particularly if you are in a hurry, then you are going to be disappointed.
If you’re running a die grinder that sucks 17 CFM of compressed air at 90 PSI for a production environment…that is, using it for hours at a time, then you’re going to need at least a 5HP compressor with as large a reservoir as you can afford to have sufficient air supply.

Choosing the Right Air Die Grinder
What purpose does a pneumatic die grinder have in a machine shop? These tools are quite versatile and thus a beneficial addition to your tool collection. Whether you need to enlarge existing holes, smooth rough edges, clean up shaft ends, or rework dies, die grinders, in this case air die grinders, will help you get the job done.
Pneumatic vs Electric
Pneumatic die grinders are a better choice if you are looking for a lighter tool and are okay with an operation a bit on the louder side. It is important to keep in mind that the air tool relies on the capacity of the air compressor powering it. In other words, if it is a heavy-duty job, with a heavy-duty air grinder, you’re going to need an air compressor that can support it.
Electric die grinders are a better option if you prefer working with a quieter tool that is corded and a bit on the heaver side. Electric tools are often heavier than their pneumatic counterparts because they run with a motor.
If you plan to use a die grinder frequently, keep in mind that they can overheat from overuse, so you might soon be in the market for a replacement.
Angle vs Straight
There really are no pros and cons to each type of die grinder because there is literally no functional difference. Here is a bit more about the minor difference in structure.
Angle die grinders are built with a right-angle structure, so that the die grinder itself is perpendicular to the body. The point? They are perfect for conditions where a straight die grinder cannot fit. So, if you are working on a uniquely shaped part, or you need to bend in the workpiece, an angle die grinder is the right tool for you.
Straight die grinders are completely straight. The die grinder itself sits atop of the body creating one straight line. This style of air grinder can be a bit long, so they are best for setups that don’t require a tight squeeze.
The images below will better depict the concept.
