The large tank size complements the Porter-Cable CPFAC2600P’s lower cfm rating, giving this model the capacity for light framing and roofing tasks. The universal motor in this pancake compressor draws only 10 amps, making it safe for extension cord use. Its oilless motor can produce 2.6 scfm (a more accurate measurement than cfm because it accounts for factors that affect air pressure) at 90 psi from a 6-gal. tank. This model’s tool capacity is four finish nailers, or one roofing nailer, or two framing nailers.
