What Kind of Sander Should I buy? Air VS Electric

Are you trying to figure out what kind of sander you should buy? There are many things to consider when investing in a tool and we want to help you make the right decision!
Air sanders need an air compressor...electric tools need an outlet, simple as that!
**CORRECTION** In this video, Skylar mentions the compressor is 2-stage compressor. The compressor shown is actually a single-stage.

    7.5 hp air compressor is rated at 31 cfm. Which can power 9 of those sanders.

    Tiny head too. That thing is smaller then most portable compressors. Only thing big on that is the tank. Also, maximum air is used with shooting the air freely.

    I appreciate the video, but you have no clue about your compressor. That's not a two stage, not 7 hp and not 80 gal. My 80 gal 5 hp two stage compressor is twice that size.

    Came here to say that. Looks like a 40 gal compressor. I've got an 80 gal and it looks at least twice that size.

    Is that 3.4 SCFM? A lot of 20 gallon compressors that are a few hundred dollars can put out about 4-5 SCFM @ 90 PSI.

    They can, but you'll burn up the compressor because it will be running non stop.

    Doesn’t matter.. you can’t get continuous use. You’d have to keep stopping to let the tank catch up. It’s only good for big commercial shop settings.

    Oh come on, u don't need a 5k+ corkscrew compressor to run your sander 😄 My 60 gal 2 stage is 15 cfm, most 60 gallons should be more than enough air. Hell most 5 gal compressors run 90cfm @ 5-6cfm. No one in their right mind thinks a pancake compressor would run this sander 😄

    I mean. I'm very new to this world. All I have is a pancake. This video was helpful for me to understand if this product was for me.

    You 27 gallon probably has the same size compressor on top.of it. He is lying about a 7.5 hp compressor. A 7.5 hp compressor can kick out 31cfm that almsot 10x what that tool is rated to pull.

    Good info. Thanks for sharing. Can you compare side by side the air vs electric to strip the stain off a wood panel. Also it would be interesting to compare to a Bosch 5” orbital or similar.
