Conflating these two is foolish.

The top rated cut-off tool on Amazon (Dewalt DWMT70784) is more than enough for what OP is doing, and utilizes 4.4 CFM @ 90 PSI.

You'll notice the compressor I selected above is rated 5.9 CFM @ 90 PSI.

The cheapest little blow nozzles ($5, or so) pull 10 CFM, whereas the top rated gun on Amazon maxes out at 34 CFM.


IF its rated as average air consumption they assume use 25% of the time so its in use air consumption would be around 18cfm.
 
OP stated that his usage for a cut-off tool would only be "for small jobs only like fixing my leaking gm oil cooler lines". Nothing big, certainly nothing continuous, and within the 25% duty cycle threshold.
