Power Sanding Alternatives

those prices are insane stu! :eek:
in order to run any air tool that uses a continuous supply of air such as a sander or grinder you`ll need to look for a unit capable of 11+cfm with a 100% duty cycle..
larger storage tanks than a pump was designed to fill will only cause premature pump failure...but they will let you run a tool a bit longer before waiting for pressure to rebuild...not a fair exchange in my eyes.
can`t you find used compressors over there? they`re much easier to rebuild than a motorcycle;)

Yeah, I've been looking for a while, but even the used 3 phase ones go for a good price, often 50% or 60% of a new one :doh:

I'll get one eventually!

Yeah, rebuilding the pumps is dead easy.

Told you the prices were NUTS! :rolleyes: :wave:
 
Oh yeah the one I have is rated at 4.3 CFM (I checked again it is on the badge) don't know the duty cycle. That one was a DEAL at $600 at COSTCO :rolleyes:

:dunno:

When in Rome.....:bang:
