Note that it's only a 3-4 bar machine. Cuts out at 4 bar, restarts at 3 bar.

Normal large compressors run ten bar at the restart point, and there are small machines which run similar pressures and differ only in volumetric capacity.

These low pressure machines are made principally to power air brushes. Better than a tin of air duster, but not really the full power even for a small chuff.
