My 1/2 HP air compressor couldn't keep up with a 30A plasma cutter.

Yep, it should be enough. I don't even turn on my newer 60 gal one for
small jobs like sandblasting rust spots, the air in the tank is plenty.

My 40A plasma cutter runs fine on my 2hp compressor.

Thanks, that's a useful data point. I wasn't looking for such a large
compressor but couldn't pass up the deal, $75 unused but missing the pump
(handling damage?). The 3HP Harbor Freight air pump works fine on it.
