Having never owned or used pneumatic tools, what happens if the scfm of the air compressor is less than the rated scfm of a pneumatic drill?
I have a 6 gallon pancake Porter Cable compressor that's rated at 2.6 scfm at 90 psi. Most 90 degree angle pneumatic drills seem to be rated at 4 scfm (Harbor Freight has one for $34.99). Will the drill just slow down in rpm but with sufficient torque? I want to use the drill with a flat drill brush to clean our carpet. (Yes, all of the carpet on hands and knees , but mostly in the high traffic areas.)
I found an Irontron 0-1500 rpm variable speed 90 degree angle drill rated at 2.3 cfm. But all finds say "does not ship to your location". We have a trip scheduled for Las Vegas. Anyone know of a place that sells the Irontron pneumatic drill in Las Vegas?
Another possibility is buying a 3 cfm 90 degree angle grinder from Harbor Freight for $13.99. But it comes with a 1/4 inch collet and flat drill brushes seem to only come with the typical quick change hex shaft. I haven't been able to find a 1/4" collet to hex adapter. (There are a lot of hex to collet adapters)

Any ideas for using a flat drill brush with my small compressor to clean our carpet appreciated,
