A 6-gallon air compressor may be enough for a small plasma cutter used for light, short cuts, but it may not provide sufficient airflow (CFM) for longer or continuous cutting tasks. Always check the plasma cutter’s required CFM at a specific PSI and compare it to the compressor’s output to ensure compatibility. If the compressor’s CFM is lower than the cutter’s requirement, you may experience pressure drops and interrupted operation.
