I am looking for a good Pneumatic Random orbital sander to use as a finish sanding tool. Any recommendations? |

Chicago Pneumatic - 2.5mm Random Orbital Sander with Self Vacuum, 6" (CP7220-SV) 2.5mm orbit for high quality finishing 0.3 hp oil free motor Triple balance design Adjustable speed regulator with safety shut off Self-vacuum Max rpm: 12,000 I also have one of these. I like because I have a hook and loop adaper attaced and can use 5" discs Eagle Industries 6905EC 5" Pneumatic Random Orbital Sander (12,000 RPM) Air Inlet: 1/4 Inch Air Usage: 15 CFM Length: 6.9 Inches Orbit Pattern: 3/16 Inches Pad Size: 5 Inches RPM: 12,000 RPM Neither are cheap and and of course they eat air so you need a good compressor |

Dynabrade makes the best pneumatic sanders. They're expensive but very well made. |

Another Dynabrade user too. Great tools but they eat some serious air. Better have a good compressor. |

Dynabrade Spirit. Light and powerful. I have 3.5, 5 and 6 inch versions in various orbit patterns but have found the 3/16 to be the most versatile. I run mine at about 35 lbs at the regulator and never more than 45. |

Yeah, if you don't have a large CFM output compressor then forget it and go with a electric RO. |

Can you rig 'at the source' dust collection with a pneumatic? |

well.....that never crossed my mind. Mostly because I have space constraint issues. So...Joe....you use pneumatic random orbits for finish sanding? What size do you use mostly? I know someone that makes the giant characters you see at Disney World. He suggested, and I wasn't listening very well, a pneumatic RO and I don't remember what it was. Tell us your secrets Joe....or we'll use the force to bend your driver's license!

I'm a Dynabrade user also. They are awesome. I hope I don't take this too far in another direction but I have always been curious about these sanding tables. Joe, do they work well? What's the cfm on yours? |

John... Dynabrade, hands down. If you want to try one out first, you can borrow mine if you wish. It's only "across the canyon"! Hank |
