Cutting out the rust, cuttoff tool? Options

[swl]

I bought myself a compressor and el cheap tool kit. I was kind of hoping that the cutoff tool would be the right thing for cutting out the cancer. Had a go at it today but this tool was useless. No torque at all - stalled with very little pressure - hardly any sparks. There is an adjuster on it that seems to throttle the air supply. Played with that a bit but it didn't really make any difference.

So do I have a faulty tool or just the wrong tool for the job?

This is the Saw that I use, Ingersol Rand model 429....

I too have a smaller compressor, I've been using it since 1983, it is a 2 horsepower, 20 gal. tank, 2 cylinder, and it runs on 220v, Mike is right about the size needed, however, I added about 60 feet of 1 " schedule 40 Pvc from my compressor, which routes up the wall and into the attic of my garage, then back down the other wall to the filter/regulator, then I run about 40 feet of rubber hose, and for the most part, my compressor keeps up with the tools that I use. I think the extra storage seems to help. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
