My experience with a DA
Posted: Fri Aug 16, 2019 7:55 pm
I borrowed a friend's DA sander tonight to try it out and see if I would like it better than the DeWalt orbital sander I've been using. I don't remember what brand it is but he said he bought it at HF. My air compressor is a Craftsman 25 gallon but I've read that DA's need at least a 29 gallon. I can tell you that even though I was impressed with how smooth it handled and didn't make my hands numb like the DeWalt, my AC could't handle it. I spent more time waiting for the air to build up than sanding.
Is there a DA that is small enough for a 25 gallon AC? If it has to be at least a 29 gallon tank, I can always go over to my Dad's shop and borrow his. (He's 91 and never uses it anyway ))
Thanks for any advice.
