Thanks for making a great video, it was very informative. I bought a "top of the range" palm sander, it works real good and does a great job and it chews a lot of air. These days in Australia the specifications are in Litres /min. Those specs are meaningless to me, it may as well say peanuts per min. My guess is it puts out about 12 Cu Ft / min. It's supposed to run a nail gun. Just recently, I noticed a little warning on my $900 dollar air compressor: "do not operate motor continuously for more than ten minutes" They've gotta be kidding!

I started using an air orbital sander today. Love it. Didnt realize how much air it uses. My little direct aircompressor cant keep up. Looking for an upgrade. The smaller one runs a staple gun and a nailgun great. But it's just like you said man. Cheers.

Been doing a lot of research on this. Thank you for the insight, so helpful. I am a hobbyist and want a compressor with a high CFM but small tank. Thinking about getting the Makita MAC 5200- 6.4 CFM @90 psi, but a 5.4-gallon tank.

Thanks. Glad it helped. I actually did a follow up video where someone local have a large tank compressor for a reasonable price that I acquired. No matter which option you go for, as a hobbyist, you will not want to afford what works perfectly and will always have some constraints.

So, for hobbyists, getting to the Point: 6 to 10 gallons tank 90 PSI Drain it every day Put oil to the tool every time before using it. Something that I forgot? I have one 3 gallons, and it sands for about 10 seconds.

Just getting into pneumatic tools and was wondering if there was any particular sander you'd recommend for a compressor that runs at 5.1cfm @ 90psi/6.8cfm @ 40psi with a 30gal tank? Great video.

I always buy reasonably cheap ones that last well over two years working about one hour a day. 6" seems best with a velcro attachment system. The big thing to watch for is the trigger button, make sure it is in the center of the handle that pushes it down. Offset ones wear out a ton quicker. rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F143402217212

Your video made a lot of sense as research into what works best with what is not conclusive - but you said it right there that saying air sanders are air, hungry, arms get tired and what's 2 minutes to fill up in the grand scheme of things, especially as we have a tonne of time at home on our hands right now anyway. My compressor FYI is 24L, 1.5 HP, 240V, 120 P.S.I. I'm not sure of it's CFM, it arrives tomorrow. The sander is like your one, and operates at 90 P.S.I. Think I'll be ok.

Glad it helped and you are right, arms get tired when you are only someone who uses one for a hobby. It took me a while to build up to the times I run mine now, which it why I made a second video showing my new compressor. I actually made this video quickly and roughly for a friend, never expecting it to reach the popularity it currently enjoys. Hope your compressor does what you need it too.

Based on what I can see online, these tend to have 6 gallon tanks and operate at between 2.2 and 2.8 cfm. Most orbital sanders need at least 4.5 cfm and about 10 gallons to keep up.

Great video. Got a question which would be better buy a air sander for polishing with a compressor or buying an electric polisher with a generator? For detailing purposes

@BIGDH2000

3 жыл бұрын

Honestly, this is a complicated question. Both the generator and the compressor are bulky items. If you already have one or need one in your van/truck, there is no need to buy the other. That being said, adjustable speed orbital air sanders are cheaper and easier to find. The electric ones tend to be one speed until you get pretty high up in price. Detailing requires a lot of different speeds depending on the project, plus it generally means water in the area. Less electrical wires near the water might be better.

Sanders are "wide open" and eat up air. Even the ones that say 5 cfm are really closer to 6.5 to 7 cfm to operate smoothly.
