Should I get a pneumatic orbital sander or electric?

patrick s asked:


I have been doing some body work on my car and my electric orbital sander died on me. I was wondering if i should get a pneumatic one or just stick with electric. My compressor is only 2 hp and 2.6 SCFM @ 90 psi, will this be enough to power a pneumatic sander?

    Sander uses up air sander uses up air very fast unless you have access to large enough compressor stick to large enough compressor stick to electric.

    Joe is correct.You’d need a much bigger compressor than you have.
